Analysing the loss of embryogenic competence in long-term cell lines of Solanum...
Cordeiro, Daniela; Canhoto, Jorge; Correia, SandraSomatic embryogenesis (SE) is a pivotal model for understanding cellular differentiation and totipotency while also offering practical applications for micropropagation and breeding of many crops. Therefore, there is a great interest in understanding the gene regulatory networks underlying cell reprogramming during this process. Accordingly, SE in Solanum betaceum Cav. (tamarillo) is a reliable system for study...
Breeding Alnus species for resistance to Phytophthora disease in the Iberian Pe...
Cordeiro, Daniela; Pizarro, Alberto; Vélez, M. Dolores; Guevara, M. Ángeles; Marıa, Nuria de; Ramos, Paula; Cobo-Simón, Irene; Diez-Galán, AlbaAlders are widely distributed riparian trees in Europe, North Africa and Western Asia. Recently, a strong reduction of alder stands has been detected in Europe due to infection by Phytophthora species (Stramenopila kingdom). This infection causes a disease known as alder dieback, characterized by leaf yellowing, dieback of branches, increased fruit production, and bark necrosis in the collar and basal part of t...
An Efficient Agrobacterium-Mediated Genetic Transformation Method for Solanum b...
Cordeiro, Daniela; Alves, Ana; Ferraz, Ricardo; Casimiro, Bruno; Canhoto, Jorge; Correia, SandraSomatic embryogenesis in Solanum betaceum (tamarillo) has proven to be an effective model system for studying morphogenesis, since optimized plant regeneration protocols are available, and embryogenic competent cell lines can be induced from different explants. Nevertheless, an efficient genetic transformation system for embryogenic callus (EC) has not yet been implemented for this species. Here, an optimized f...
An Efficient Method to Prepare Barcoded cDNA Libraries from Plant Callus for Lo...
Cordeiro, Daniela; Camelo, Alexandra; Pedrosa, Ana Carolina; Brandão, Inês; Canhoto, Jorge; Espirito Santo, Christophe; Correia, SandraLong-read sequencing methods allow a comprehensive analysis of transcriptomes in identifying full-length transcripts. This revolutionary method represents a considerable breakthrough for non-model species since it allows enhanced gene annotation and gene expression studies when compared to former sequencing methods. However, woody plant tissues are challenging to the successful preparation of cDNA libraries, th...
The impact of genetic groups (Alentejano and F1 Landrace x Large White pigs) an...
Amaral, Andreia; Cordeiro, Daniela; Bettencourt, Carlos; Moreira, Olga; Bressan, Maria Cristina; Belo, Ana Teresa; Boari, Cleube AndradeThis research work was carried out with the goal of studying the impact of genetic groups-GG (Alentejano-AL, n = 30, and F1 Landrace*Large White-F1 pigs, n = 30) and body weight-BW (90, 120 and 160 kg) on plasma metabolites. Blood parameters were correlated with animal production traits, carcass measurements and meat quality. Individual records for feed conversion index (CI) and daily feed intake were recorded ...
Small Non-Coding RNAs at the Crossroads of Regulatory Pathways Controlling Soma...
Alves, Ana; Cordeiro, Daniela; Correia, Sandra; Miguel, CéliaSmall non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs) are molecules with important regulatory functions during development and environmental responses across all groups of terrestrial plants. In seed plants, the development of a mature embryo from the zygote follows a synchronized cell division sequence, and growth and differentiation events regulated by highly regulated gene expression. However, given the distinct features of the i...
Propriedades tecnológicas e aceitação sensorial de produtos cárneos empanados c...
Cordeiro, DanielaOrientador: Marise Aparecida Rodrigues Pollonio; Tese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia de Alimentos; Resumo: Atualmente os consumidores estão cada vez mais interessados no consumo de alimentos com apelos para a promoção da saúde. No desenvolvimento de produtos cárneos com características funcionais, os cereais, os quais possuem uma grande proporção de fibra insolúvel, têm...
