Costa, Mário Luís; Sobral, Rómulo Sacramento; Costa, Maria Manuela Ribeiro; Amorim, Maria Isabel; Coimbra, SílviaSupplementary data are available online at www.aob.oxford journals.org and consist of the following. Figure S1: Quercus suber predicted AG peptide sequences. Table S1: Gene-specific primers used in qRT-PCR analysis.; Quercus suber (cork oak) is a dominant tree of the Fagaceae in forests of the south-west Iberian Peninsula. It is monoecious with a long progamic phase that provides a comprehensive system for comp...
Molecular regulation of flowering induction in Quercus suber
Andrade, Luis Carlos Lopes deDissertação de mestrado em Plant Molecular Biology, Biotechnology and Bioentrepeneurship; In order to produce seeds, angiosperm plants need to first develop reproductive organs in a process known as flowering. Several prerequisites must be fulfilled to ensure that the development of flowers and the formation of seeds occur at an appropriate timing. A major stimuli involved in the flowering of plants include a p...
The quest for molecular regulation underlying unisexual flower development
Sobral, Rómulo Sacramento; Silva, Helena G; Morais-Cecílio, Leonor; Costa, Maria Manuela RibeiroThe understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the making of a unisexual flower has been a long-standing quest in plant biology. Plants with male and female flowers can be divided mainly into two categories: dioecious and monoecious, and both sexual systems co-exist in nature in ca of 10% of the angiosperms. The establishment of male and female traits has been extensively described in a hermaphro...

Lopes, Ana Lúcia; Costa, Mário Luís; Sobral, Rómulo Sacramento; Costa, Maria Manuela Ribeiro; Amorim, Maria Isabel; Coimbra, SílviaQuercus suber L. (cork oak) is one of the most important monoecious tree species in semi-arid regions of Southern Europe, with a high ecological value and economic potential. However, as a result of its long reproductive cycle, complex reproductive biology and recalcitrant seeds, conventional breeding is demanding. In its complex reproductive biology, little is known about the most important changes that occur ...
Role of floral organ identity genes in the development of unisexual flowers of ...
Sobral, Rómulo Sacramento; Costa, Maria Manuela RibeiroSupplementary information accompanies this paper at doi:10.1038/s41598-017-10732-0; Monoecious species provide an excellent system to study the specific determinants that underlie male and female flower development. Quercus suber is a monoecious species with unisexual flowers at inception. Despite the overall importance of this and other tree species with a similar reproductive habit, little is known regarding ...
Molecular characterization of flower development of Quercus suber L
Sobral, Rómulo SacramentoTese de Doutoramento em Ciências (Especialidade em Biologia); Quercus suber, or cork oak, is an important forest species in Southern Europe and Northern Africa. This perennial monoecious species has an accentuated protandrous system: in late winter, and sometimes in autumn, male flowers develop in catkins that emerge close to the dormant buds. Female flowers develop in spring (4 to 8 weeks after male flowering)...
