A photoswitchable “host-guest¿? approach for the selective enrichment of dimeth...
Garcia, Raquel; Carreiro, Elisabete P.; Prates Ramalho, João P.; Burke, Anthony J.; Lima, João C.; Gomes da Silva, Marco D.R.; Costa Freitas, Ana MariaThis work describes the development of a new selective photocontrollable molecularly imprinted-based sorbent for the selective enrichment/pre-concentration of dimethoate from spiked olive oil samples. To achieve this goal an improved molecularly imprinted strategy relying on the embedding of a functional monomer containing an azobenzene chromophore as light-responsive element, on the crosslinked tridimensional ...
Current analytical methods for plant auxin quantification – A review
Porfírio, Sara; Gomes da Silva, Marco D.R.; Peixe, Augusto; Cabrita, Maria João; Parastoo, AzadiPlant hormones, and especially auxins, are low molecular weight compounds highly involved in the control of plant growth and development. Auxins are also broadly used in horticulture, as part of vegetative plant propagation protocols, allowing the cloning of genotypes of interest. Over the years large efforts have been put in the development of more sensitive and precise methods of analysis and quantification o...
Reviewing current knowledge on olive (Olea europaea L.) adventitious root forma...
Porfírio, Sara; Gomes da Silva, Marco D.R.; Cabrita, Maria João; Azadi, Parastoo; Peixe, AugustoOlive (Olea europaea) is one of the most important fruit species in the Mediterranean basin, where 95% of the world’s olive orchards are planted, and it has become an economically valuable crop worldwide, due to an increasing interest in olive oil for human consumption. New olive orchards are being planted outside the Mediterranean, calling for an effort to identify the genotypes best adapted to the new conditi...
