Gene transcripts responsive to drought stress identified in Citrus macrophylla ...
da Silva, Melina; Pinto, Patricia IS; Guerra, Rui Manuel Farinha das Neves; Duarte, Amilcar; Power, Deborah; Marques, N T.Citrus macrophylla Wester (CM) has valuable agronomic characteristics such as the ability to grow in saline soils, although with low tolerance to prolonged drought stress (DS). To understand the mechanisms that characterize CM response to water scarcity, this study compared transcriptome profile changes in CM stem tissue when exposed to DS and identified a total of 2745 differentially expressed transcripts (DET...
Callose synthase and xyloglucan endotransglucosylase gene expression over time ...
da Silva, Melina; Germano, Sandra; Duarte, Amilcar; Pinto, Patrícia; Marques, NatáliaCitrus tristeza virus (CTV) is a virus that already caused great losses in citrus producing regions. The cell wall of plant cells plays an important role in the defence response to viruses. Following several studies indicating that cell wall enzyme transcripts of callose synthase 7 (calS7) and xyloglucan endotransglucosylase 9 (xth9) are modified during a viral infection, transcript expression of calS7 isoform ...
