Influence of orchards fertilization management and post-harvest storage time on...
Figueiredo, Ana Cristina; da Silva, Anabela Bernardes; Tavares, Cláudia; Pastaneira, Mafalda; Melo, Juliana; Ferro Rodrigues, Carolina“Maçã de Alcobaça” is a type of apple from the West coast of Portugal with Protected Geographical Indication (PGI). This study evaluated the influence of the orchard’s fertilization and post-harvest storage time on the quality of “Maçã de Alcobaça”, ‘Gala’ cultivar. Five orchards were studied for four years, using three fertilization treatments [Standard, twice Standard (2xStandard) and twice Standard including...
SUMO E3 ligase SIZ1 connects sumoylation and reactive oxygen species homeostasi...
Castro, Pedro Humberto; Couto, Daniel; Santos, Miguel Angelo; Freitas, Sara; Lourenco, Tiago; Dias, Eva; Huguet, Stephanie; da Silva, Jorge MarquesThe ubiquitin-like modifying peptide SMALL UBIQUITIN-LIKE MODIFIER (SUMO) has become a known modulator of the plant response to multiple environmental stimuli. A common feature of many of these external stresses is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Taking into account that SUMO conjugates rapidly accumulate in response to an external oxidative stimulus, it is likely that ROS and sumoylation conve...
Effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on intertidal microphytobenthos
Cartaxana, Paulo; Vieira, Sónia; Ribeiro, Lourenço; Rocha, Rui J. M.; Cruz, Sónia; Calado, Ricardo; da Silva, Jorge MarquesBackground: Microphytobenthos (MPB) are the main primary producers of many intertidal and shallow subtidal environments. Although these coastal ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic activities, little is known on the effects of climate change variables on the structure and productivity of MPB communities. In this study, the effects of elevated temperature and CO2 on intertidal MPB biomass, spe...
