Characterization of the cork oak transcriptome dynamics during acorn development
Miguel, Andreia; de Vega-Bartol, José; Marum, Liliana; Chaves, Inês; Santo, Tatiana; Leitão, J. M.; Varela, Maria C.; Miguel, Célia M.Background: Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) has a natural distribution across western Mediterranean regions and is a keystone forest tree species in these ecosystems. The fruiting phase is especially critical for its regeneration but the molecular mechanisms underlying the biochemical and physiological changes during cork oak acorn development are poorly understood. In this study, the transcriptome of the cork oak ...
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...
The ENU-induced powdery mildew resistant mutant pea (Pisum sativum L.) lines S(...
Santo, Tatiana; Rashkova, M.; Alabaça, Cláudia S.; Leitão, J. M.Two pea (Pisum sativum L.) powdery mildew-resistant mutant lines, S(er1mut1) and F(er1mut2), were previously obtained by experimental chemical mutagenesis with ethylnitrosourea. Identification and subsequent analysis of the genomic sequence of the PsMLO1 gene revealed one single nucleotide mutation in each mutant line that leads to either a transversion or a transition, respectively, resulting in premature stop...
An integrated genetic map of pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.)
de Sousa, N.; Carlier, Jorge; Santo, Tatiana; Leitão, J. M.The inclusion of multiple new markers, in particular 41 sequence specific markers, resulted in drastically improved version of a previously published F1-based genetic map of pineapple (Ananas comosus). The integration of the new version of this map with a more recently published F2-based map resulted in a map that assembles 741 loci: 739 DNA markers (25 SSR, 12 EST_SSR, 22 SCAR, 8 CAPS, 20 ISSR, 109 RAPD, and 5...
A genetic map of pineapple (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) including SCAR, CAPS, SS...
Carlier, Jorge; Sousa, N. H.; Santo, Tatiana; d'Eeckenbrugge, G. C.; Leitão, JoséDespite the paramount importance of pineapple (Ananas comosus L.) in world production and trade of tropical fruits, the genomics of this crop is still lagging behind that of other tropical fruit crops such as banana or papaya. A genetic map of pineapple was constructed using an F2 segregating population obtained from a single selfed F1 plant of a cross A. comosus var. comosus (cv. Rondon, clone BR 50) x A. como...
