Holm Oak Somatic Embryogenesis: Current Status and Future Perspectives [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Quercus ilex (holm oak) is one of the most representative trees in the Mediterranean basin, but now the sustainability of its ecosystems is at serious risk due to the lack of natural regeneration and to the presence of a severe disease called oak decline

Tolerant Epitypes of Elicited Holm Oak Somatic Embryos Could Be Revealed by Challenges in Dual Culture with Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands. [PDF]
Plants (Basel), 2023 Holm oaks (Quercus ilex L.) can suffer severe infection by the oomycete Phytophthora cinnamomi Rands; the production of more tolerant plants is, therefore, required. Embryo formation is a key period in the establishment of epigenetic memory.
