Early events of grapevine resistance towards downy mildew by a systems biology ...
Figueiredo, Andreia; Sebastiana, Mónica; Martins, Joana; Monteiro, Filipa; Coelho, Ana V.; Pais, Maria S.Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the fungus Plasmopara viticola (Berk. & Curt.) Berl. & de Toni was introduced in European vineyards in the 1870s and quickly spread to all major grape-producing regions worldwide. The early events of grapevine resistance to P. viticola were accessed using transcriptomic, metabolomic and proteomics approaches in the cultivars, ‘Regent' and ‘Trincadeira', resistant and susceptibl...
A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...
Pereira-Leal, José B.; Abreu, Isabel A.; Alabaça, Cláudia S.; Almeida, Maria H.; Almeida, Paulo; Almeida, Tânia; Amorim, Maria I.; Araújo, SusanaBackground: Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with the ability to produce cork, a material widely used to make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms of cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due to the difficulty in studying a species with a long life-cycle and for which there is scarce molecular/genomic inform...
In vitro break of dormancy of axillary buds from woody species (Persea indica a...
Rodrigues, Américo; Sérgio, Pedro M.; Teixeira, Manuel R.; Pais, Maria S.The effect of laser cut of explants on the break of dormancy of axillary buds and the development of micropropagated Persea indica and Arbutus unedo nodal segments was investigated. A continuous CO2 wave laser was used. A regular cut was obtained with a laser power of 75 W and a corresponding cutting speed of 0.01 m s−1. Using these parameters, the surfaces of the segments were cut consistently with little or n...
