Effects of recent minimum temperature and water deficit increases on Pinus pina...
Kurz-Besson, Cathy B.; Lousada, José L.; Gaspar, Maria J.; Correia, Isabel E.; David, Teresa S.; Soares, Pedro M.M.; Cardoso, Rita M.; Russo, AnaWestern Iberia has recently shown increasing frequency of drought conditions coupled with heatwave events, leading to exacerbated limiting climatic conditions for plant growth. It is not clear to what extent wood growth and density of agroforestry species have suffered from such changes or recent extreme climate events. To address this question, tree-ring width and density chronologies were built for a Pinus pi...
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...
Melhoramento do sobreiro para uma regeneração artificial sustentável
Gaspar, Maria J.; Rodrigues, Ana Paula; Faria, Carla; Silva, F. Costa e; Merouani, H.; Silva, J. Costa e; Correia, António H.; Rodrigues, J.C.O sobreiro (Quercus suber) é uma espécie singular devido à sua importância no funcionamento do ecossistema mediterrânico e na produção de cortiça. No entanto, apesar da sua importância ecológica e sócio-económica, pouco se compreende ainda dos seus processos de adaptabilidade às diferentes condições ambientais. Em algumas áreas do mediterrâneo ocidental, as florestas de sobreiro encontram-se em declínio e a man...
