Quality trait analysis of a portuguese collection of common bean (Phaseolus vul...

Lack of knowledge on crop adaptability and access to improved varieties, are generating difficulties to crop diversification and legume inclusion in value chains. To overcome these barriers, it is important to assess trait and molecular diversity for selection and production of high-quality seed. The main aim of this study was to analyze different quality traits of a Portuguese collection of common bean (Phaseo...

Mineral profilling of a portuguese collection of common bean (phaseolus vulgari...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most produced and consumed legume in Portugal. Recent data show an average national production of common bean of about 2397 tons, spread over about 3547 hectares of production area (FAOSTAT, 2017). As a rustic crop, beans are known to have great morphological variability and adapt to different environments and landraces and varieties vary morphologically and nutritiona...

Thermal analysis in drilling of ex vivo bovine bones

Bone drilling is a common procedure in Medicine, mainly in traumatology and orthopedic procedure for fractures fixation and in reconstructive surgery. The success of this surgical procedure is dependent on many factors, namely, on heat generation control during the bone drilling. The main concern in bone drilling is the mechanical and thermal damage of the bone induced by inappropriate parameters such as drill ...

Cloning, characterization and in vitro and in planta expression of a glucanase ...

Oomycetes from the genus Phytophthora are fungus-like plant pathogens that are devastating for agriculture and natural ecosystems. They are able to secrete a glucanase inhibitor protein (GIP) that inhibits the activity of endoglucanases (EGases) involved in defense responses against infection. One of the most widely distributed and aggressive Phytophthora species, with more than 1,000 host plants is P. cinnamom...

Lipases: biocatalizadores da hidrólise de triacilglicerois

Os enzimas lipases (E.C.3.1.1.3) pertencem à família das serinas hidrolases, que por sua vez incluem várias enzimas esterases (E.C.3.1.1.1). Uma característica que distingue as lipases das esterases é o facto de serem capazes de realizar a hidrólise de óleos e gorduras em glicerol e ácidos gordos livres na interface óleo-água. Normalmente é aceite que as esterases hidrolisam ligações éster em esteres e triacilg...

Characterization of molecular factors from plants pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi

The culture of the chestnut tree is extremely important in the northern region of Portugal, occupying a significant proportion of useful agricultural area. The annual average chestnut production in Portugal can reach 20 000 tons. New plantation areas have increased in the last few decades. However the ink disease caused by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi has damage and killed many trees and up to now no con...
