Data-specific substitution models improve protein-based phylogenetics

Calculating amino-acid substitution models that are specific for individual protein data sets is often difficult due to the computational burden of estimating large numbers of rate parameters. In this study, we tested the computational efficiency and accuracy of five methods used to estimate substitution models, namely Codeml, FastMG, IQ-TREE, P4 (maximum likelihood), and P4 (Bayesian inference). Data-specific ...

Volatile and sensory characterization of white wines from three minority Portug...

Este trabalho centrou-se na caracterização sensorial e da composição volátil de vinhos brancos produzidos a partir de três castas minoritárias, designadamente ‘Malvasia’ (Colares), ‘Verdelho’ e ‘Galego Dourado’. A caracterização ocorreu por meio de análise sensorial e por cromatografia gás líquido de alta resolução, e os resultados obtidos foram analisados através de análise multivariada, que permitiu avaliar a...

The mitochondrial phylogeny of land plants shows support for Setaphyta under co...

Congruence among analyses of plant genomic data partitions (nuclear, chloroplast and mitochondrial) is a strong indicator of accuracy in plant molecular phylogenetics. Recent analyses of both nuclear and chloroplast genome data of land plants (embryophytes) have, controversially, been shown to support monophyly of both bryophytes (mosses, liverworts, and hornworts) and tracheophytes (lycopods, ferns, and seed p...

Volatile and sensory characterization of white wines from three minoritary port...

This work focused on the characterization of the volatile compounds and sensory profile of white wines produced from three minority grapevine varieties of Portugal namely ‘Malvasia’ (Colares), ‘Verdelho’ and ‘Galego Dourado’. The characterization took place using sensory and gas chromatography analysis. Furthermore, the data obtained were analysed through the use of multivariate analysis, which made it possible...

First molecular characterization of grapevine virus B (GVB) in portuguese grape...

This work describes the first molecular characterization of grapevine virus B (GVB) in Portuguese grapevine cultivars. During a routine screening of 44 accessions in the National Collection of Grapevine Varieties (CAN PRT051), 17 were found infected with GVB in DAS-ELISA assays with commercial antibodies. However, only six of the corresponding isolates were successfully amplified using primer pairs described in...

Genetic variants of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 infecting Portuguese ...

Genetic variability of 19 isolates of Grapevine leafroll-associated virus 2 (GLRaV-2) from Portuguese grapevine cultivars was characterized by sequencing the entire capsid protein (CP) gene of the virus. Global phylogenetic analysis of the CP gene, which included nucleotide sequences obtained in this study and complete homologous sequences from GenBank, showed segregation of GLRaV-2 variants from Portuguese iso...

Wine fingerprinting using a bio-geochemical approach

The wine sector is a billion euro business and therefore subjected to multiple attempts of fraudulent practices. This requires the development of rapid and reliable methods to detect such situations. Several methodologies have been developed based on the chemical profiles of the wines, but they are limited due to the environmental conditions that cannot be controlled. The use of DNA-based detection systems are ...

Molecular markers for assessing must varietal origin

Efeito da casta no enraizamento de estacas semilenhosas de videira

From the massal and clonal selection of grapevine developed in Portugal for the last 30 years, clones of several varieties with high genetic potential were obtained, which are currently used for multiplication to produce base and certified materials. In order to allow the rapid multiplication of selected clones of grapevine, this work evaluate the effect of the variety (Arinto, Malvasia Fina, Aragonez, and Trin...
