Forests are essential resources on a global scale, not only for the ecological benefits, but also economical and landscape purposes. However, in recent years, large number of forest species have suffered serious decline, with maritime pine being one most affected. In Portugal, has been devastated by wood nematode (PWN), causal agent wilt disease. this study, RNA-Seq data was used to characterize response infection PWN, determining differentially expressed genes identifying regulatory...
Pine wilt disease (PWD) caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a serious threat to global forest populations of conifers, in particular Pinus spp. Recently, the presence PWN was reported dead Yunnan (Pinus yunnanensis) trees under natural conditions. To further understand potential impact populations, transcriptional profiling analysis performed over different time points (0 hours (h), 6 h, 24 48 and 7 days) after inoculation. A total 9961 differentially expressed...
Cork oaks show a high capacity of bud sprouting as response to injury, which is important for species survival when dealing with external factors, such drought or fires. The characterization the cork oak transcriptome involved in different stages essential understanding mechanisms these processes. In this study, transcriptional profile sprouting, namely (1) dormant and (2) swollen, vs. (3) red (4) open bud, was analyzed trees growing under natural conditions. analysis indicated involvement...
Cork is an ancestral natural material derived from the cork oak tree (Quercus suber L.) with multiple industrial applications. During recent years, this has been subject of several studies. The sequencing Q. genome opened possibility to make new studies regarding quality. In study, transcriptomes superior and poor quality are compared highlight molecular pathways identify SNPs that can be associated traits, which remain one main concerns industry.
