Expression analysis of DNA methyltransferase and co-repressor genes in
Background Cork oak (Quercus suber) is one of the most important forest species in Portugal. Cork oak produces a thick cork bark which is harvested for industrial uses. Cork quality is the most important factor that affects its uses technical performance and economic value.

The transcriptome of potato tuber phellogen reveals cellular functions of cork cambium and genes involved in periderm formation and maturation. [PDF]
AbstractThe periderm is a protective corky tissue that is formed through the cambial activity of phellogen cells, when the outer epidermis is damaged. Timely periderm formation is critical to prevent pathogen invasion and water loss. The outer layers of the potato periderm, the tuber skin, serves as a model to study cork development.

Formation of damage periderm in Markies and Challenger potato tubers under the influence of temperature [PDF]
The curing before storing the tubers is necessary for the formation of damage periderm, promoting greater post-harvest conservation. In which, the rate curing and the maintenance of the quality of the tubers depends on the temperature.

Roots Structure and Development of Austrobaileya scandens (Austrobaileyaceae) and Implications for Their Evolution in Angiosperms [PDF]
Since the resolution of the ANA grade [Amborellales, Nymphaeales, Austrobaileyales] as sister to all other flowering plants, a few comparative studies of root structure have suggested that some of their anatomical traits could be of importance to ...

Abstract Larval feeding by the moth genus Ogmograptis (Bucculatricidae: Lepidoptera) creates one of the most iconic features of the Australian bush—the ‘scribbles’ found on smooth‐barked Eucalyptus. The taxonomic history of Ogmograptis has been challenging, with members of the genus being initially described in four different genera representing three ...

PHELLOGEN ACTIVITY IN ROBINIA PSEUDACACIA L. [PDF]
SummaryPhellogen activity in Robinia pseudacacia and some of the factors controlling it were investigated. A highly active phellogen is characterized by the production of large thin‐walled phellem cells. A layer of flat, thick‐walled phellem cells next to the phellogen characterizes an inactive meristem.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Viscum album
Mistletoe is a charismatic parasite of tree crowns with a long history of folklore and connections with Christmas celebrations. This, and its need for light, helps explain why it is most common in human‐made habitats across Europe. Once thought to benignly take just water and nutrients from its host it is now known to take carbon as well which can lead

Genome‐wide identification, phylogeny, and gene duplication of the epigenetic regulators in Fagaceae
Abstract Epigenetic regulators are proteins involved in controlling gene expression. Information about the epigenetic regulators within the Fagaceae, a relevant family of trees and shrubs of the northern hemisphere ecosystems, is scarce. With the intent to characterize these proteins in Fagaceae, we searched for orthologs of DNA methyltransferases ...
