Cowpea Physiological Responses to Terminal Drought
Nunes, Cátia; Moreira, Rita; Pais, Isabel; Semedo, José; Simões, Fernanda; Veloso, Maria Manuela; Scotti-Campos, PaulaFunding Information: This research was funded by Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) and FEDER through ALT20-03-0145-FEDER-029867. Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a robust legume; nevertheless, yield is always affected by drought, especially when it occurs during reproductive growth and seed filling.

Grain Composition and Quality in Portuguese Triticum aestivum Germplasm Subject...
Scotti-Campos, Paula; Oliveira, Karliana; Pais, Isabel P.; Bagulho, Ana Sofia; Semedo, José N.; Serra, Octávio; Simões, Fernanda; Lidon, Fernando C.Publisher Copyright: © 2022 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.; Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a major crop worldwide, and it is highly susceptible to heat. In this work, grain production and composition were evaluated in Portuguese T. aestivum germplasm (landraces and commercial varieties), which was subjected to heat after anthesis (grain filling stage). Heat increased the test weight (TW)...

The draft genome sequence of cork oak
Ramos, António Marcos; Usié, Ana; Barbosa, Pedro; Barros, Pedro M.; Capote, Tiago; Chaves, Inês; Simões, Fernanda; Abreu, Isabel; Carrasquinho, IsabelCork oak (Quercus suber) is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa where it plays a crucial environmental and economical role. To tackle the cork oak production and industrial challenges, advanced research is imperative but dependent on the availability of a sequenced genome. To address this, we produced the first draft version of the cork oak genome. We followed a de novo assembly strategy based on hi...
