The use of reverse transcription quantitative PCR technology to assess gene expression levels requires an accurate normalization data in order avoid misinterpretation experimental results and erroneous analyses. Despite being the focus several transcriptomics projects, oaks, particularly cork oak (Quercus suber), have not been investigated regarding identification reference genes suitable for real-time data. In this study, ten candidate (Act, CACs, EF-1α, GAPDH, His3, PsaH, Sand, PP2A, ß-Tub...
Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the rare trees with ability to produce cork, a material widely used make wine bottle stoppers, flooring and insulation materials, among many other uses. The molecular mechanisms cork formation are still poorly understood, in great part due difficulty studying species long life-cycle for which there scarce molecular/genomic information. forests ecological importance represent major economic social resource Southern Europe Northern Africa. However, global...
SHORT-ROOT (SHR) is a GRAS transcription factor first characterized for its role in the specification of stem cell niche and radial patterning Arabidopsis thaliana (At) roots. Three SHR-like genes have been identified Populus trichocarpa (Pt). PtSHR1 shares high similarity with AtSHR over entire length coding sequence. The two other genes, PtSHR2A PtSHR2B, are shorter their 5' ends when compared AtSHR. Unlike PtSHR1, that expressed throughout cambial zone greenhouse-grown trees,...

Cork oak (Quercus suber L.) has a natural distribution across western Mediterranean regions and is keystone forest tree species in these ecosystems. The fruiting phase especially critical for its regeneration but the molecular mechanisms underlying biochemical physiological changes during cork acorn development are poorly understood. In this study, transcriptome of acorn, including seed, was characterized five stages development, from early to maturation, identify dominant processes each...
Background Acyltransferases are enzymes with an important role in the synthesis of both cutin and suberin which part lipophilic barriers, such as epidermis periderm that protect terrestrial plants against water loss other external aggressions. During secondary growth woody cork oak (Quercus suber L.), is replaced by a suberized includes phellem (cork), phellogen (cork cambium) phelloderm tissues. In Q. successive formation following removal at periodic intervals (every 9 years) allows for...
Background Cork oak (Quercus suber) is a long-living species of the Fagaceae family that highly contributes for economy several countries such as Portugal. It only plant with phellogen capable sustainable production cork properties suited industry applications. Phellogen, or cambium, usually initiates in subepidermis and differentiates during first year growth [1]. Its meristematic activity gives rise to phellem (cork) cells outside phelloderm inside. likely genes involved regulation other...
This research was conducted to discover the secondary metabolites present in Luplupiit (Parameria laevigata) bark and stem ethyl crude extract. Many people are using traditional plants which have compounds derived from medicinal plants. However, these should be investigated better understand their properties, safety, efficacy. Hence, nutraceutical profiling of plant is determine its potential. The tests included phytochemical screening, antioxidant amino acid characterization.
