Population structure in Quercus suber L. revealed by nuclear microsatellite mar...
Sousa, Filipe; Costa, Joana; Ribeiro, Carla; Varandas, Marta; Pina-Martins, Francisco; Simões, Fernanda; Matos, José; Glushkova, Maria; Miguel, CéliaQuercus suber L. is a sclerophyllous tree species native to the western Mediterranean, a region that is considered highly vulnerable to increased temperatures and severe dry conditions due to environmental changes. Understanding the population structure and demographics of Q. suber is essential in order to anticipate whether populations at greater risk and the species as a whole have the genetic background and ...
Inducible and constitutive expression of HvCBF4 in rice leads to differential g...
Lourenço, Tiago; Saibo, Nelson; Batista, Rita; Pinto Ricardo, Cândido; Oliveira, Maria MargaridaThe effects of the ectopic expression of a barley transcription factor (HvCBF4) under the control of a constitutive (maize Ubi1) or a stress-inducible (Arabidopsis RD29A) promoter in the abiotic stress response in rice (Oryza sativa L.) was investigated. The transformed plants were analyzed both at molecular and physiological level and the AtRD29A::HvCBF4 plants were further analyzed using the GeneChip® rice ge...
A Proteomic Study to Identify Soya Allergens- The Human Response to Transgenic ...
Batista, Rita; Martins, Isabel; Jenö, Paul; Pinto Ricardo, Cândido; Oliveira, Maria MargaridaBackground: In spite of being among the main foods responsible for allergic reactions worldwide, soybean (Glycine max) derived products continue to be increasingly widespread in a variety of food products due to their well-documented health benefits. Soybean also continues to be one of the elected target crops for genetic modification. The aim of this study was to characterize the soya proteome and, specificall...
