Using gradient Forest to predict climate response and adaptation in Cork oak
Vanhove, Mathieu; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Coelho, Ana Cristina; Branquinho, Cristina; Costa, Augusta; Batista, Dora; Principe, Adriana; Sousa, PauloClimate change is impacting locally adapted species such as the keystone tree species cork oak (Quercus suber L.). Quantifying the importance of environmental variables in explaining the species distribution can help build resilient populations in restoration projects and design forest management strategies. Using landscape genomics, we investigated the population structure and ecological adaptation of this tre...
A comprehensive assessment of the transcriptome of cork oak (Quercus suber) thr...
Pereira-Leal, Jose B.; Abreu, Isabel A.; Alabca, Claudia S.; Almeida, Maria Helena; Almeida, Paulo; Almeida, Tania; Amorim, Maria Isabel; Araujo, 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...
