Nunes, R. J.; de Oliveira, P.; Lages, A.; Becker, J. D.; Marcelino, P.; Barroso, E.; Perdigoto, R.; Kelly, J. W.; Quintas, A.; Santos, S. C. R.Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) has a high prevalence in Portugal, and the most common form of hereditary amyloidosis is caused by an amyloidogenic variant of transthyretin (TTR) with a substitution of methionine for valine at position 30 (V30M). Until now, the available efficient therapy is liver transplantation, when performed in an early phase of the onset of the disease symptoms. However, transpla...
Mycorrhiza-like structures in rooted microshoots of Pinus pinea L.
Castro, M. R.; Ragonezi, C.; Klimaszewska, K.; Lima, M.; de Oliveira, P.; Zavattieri, M. A.Pinus pinea L. (stone pine) is one of the major plantation species in Iberian Peninsula, being Portugal the largest edible seed producer in the world. The induction and improvement of in vitro rhizogenesis of microshoots of Pinus pinea was developed in our laboratory using a co-culture system with ECM fungi. In the acclimation phase in mixed substrates, or in rhizotrons, anatomical and morphological studies wer...
