Deciphering cork formation in
BMC Proceedings, 2011 The family of Fagaceae, comprises about 900 species, among them the best-known group of this family is the oaks, genus Quercus, that are commonly used as timber or for cork production. Cork is produced by Q. suber, an evergreen oak with major economic and environmental importance for Mediterranean region, in particular for Portugal that is the leading ...

A neighborhood analysis of the consequences of Quercus suber decline for regeneration dynamics in Mediterranean forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 In forests, the vulnerable seedling stage is largely influenced by the canopy, which modifies the surrounding environment. Consequently, any alteration in the characteristics of the canopy, such as those promoted by forest dieback, might impact ...

Genome-Wide Identification of Epigenetic Regulators in Quercus suber L. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2020 AbstractModifications of DNA and histones, including methylation and acetylation, are critical for the epigenetic regulation of gene expression during plant development, particularly during environmental adaptation processes. However, information on the enzymes catalyzing all these modifications in perennial trees, such asQuercus suber, is still not ...
