Abstract Cork oak ( Quercus suber ) is native to southwest Europe and northwest Africa where it plays a crucial environmental economical role. To tackle the cork production industrial challenges, advanced research imperative but dependent on availability of sequenced genome. address this, we produced first draft version We followed de novo assembly strategy based high-throughput sequence data, which generated genome comprising 23,347 scaffolds 953.3 Mb in size. A total 79,752 genes 83,814...

Abstract Dynamic conservation of forest genetic resources (FGR) means maintaining the diversity trees within an evolutionary process and allowing generation turnover in forest. We assessed network forests areas managed for dynamic FGR (conservation units) across Europe (33 countries). On basis information available European Information System on (EUFGIS Portal), species distribution maps, environmental stratification continent, we developed ecogeographic indicators, a marginality index,...

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...

Abstract Cork oak ( Quercus suber L.) is an ecologically and economically important evergreen tree species native to the Mediterranean region widespread in southwest Europe northwest Africa. An improved genome assembly of cork using a combination Illumina PacBio sequencing presented this study. The assembled contains 2351 scaffolds longer than 1000 bp, accounting for 765.7 Mbp size, L90 755, N50 1.0 Mbp, with 40,131 annotated genes. repetitive sequences constitute 53.6% genome. chloroplast...
