Several physiological parameters, including predawn xylem water potentials and relative water content in soil, roots, and leaves as well as maximum quantum efficiency and yield of PSII were evaluated for 28 days in both irrigated and nonirrigated seedlings. The leaf proteome map of the two provenances that show the extreme responses (Seville, GSE, is the most susceptible, while Almer??a, SSA, is the least susceptible) was obtained. Statistically significant variable spots among provenances and treatments were subjected to MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS/MS analysis for protein identification. In response to drought stress, ?12.4% of the reproducible spots varied significantly depending on the treatment and the population. These variable proteins were mainly chloroplastic and belonged to the metabolism and defense/stress functional categories. The 2-DE protein profile of nonirrigated seedlings was similar in both provenances. Physiological and proteomics data were generally in good agreement. The general trend was a decrease in protein abundance upon water withholding in both provenances, mainly in those involved in ATP synthesis and photosynthesis. This decrease, moreover, was most marked in the most susceptible population compared with the less susceptible one.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">24088139</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 2 (Physiological and Proteomic Analyses of Drought Stress Response in Holm Oak Provenances - Valero-Galván, José; González-Fernández, Raquel; Navarro-Cerrillo, Rafael Maria; Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio; Jorrín-Novo, Jesús V)</style></notes><research-notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">From Duplicate 2 (Physiological and Proteomic Analyses of Drought Stress Response in Holm Oak Provenances - Valero-Galván, José; González-Fernández, Raquel; Navarro-Cerrillo, Rafael Maria; Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio; Jorrín-Novo, Jesús V)</style></research-notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esteso-Martínez, Jordán</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Peguero-Pina, José Javier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Valladares, Fernando</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morales, Fermín</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self-shading in cork oak seedlings: Functional implications in heterogeneous light environments</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Oecologica</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Canopy structure</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Light stress</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Self-shading</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2010///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1146609X10000561</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">423 - 430</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The high self-shading found in Quercus suber seedlings has been interpreted as a feature common for plants growing in high light environments. But many studies reveal that Q. suber has high survival rates under low-light conditions, so a high degree of self-shading could be the consequence of a foliage composed of many small leaves, with no drawbacks for coping with low light. A characterization of the light environment in a Q. suber stand together with a study of photosynthetic parameters of full sunlightexposed (FSLE) and self-shaded (SS) leaves were carried out to tackle this apparent contradiction. Although the number of sunﬂecks longer than 120 min during the 3 months of measurements was low, the occurrence of at least one sunﬂeck longer than 120 min per day in the understory of the forest studied was very common. Sunﬂecks shorter than 30 min promoted an increase in net photosynthesis (A) in FSLE leaves, but not in SS leaves. However, sunﬂecks longer than 60 min led to a very strong decrease in A and in actual photosystem II efﬁciency (FPSII ) in FSLE leaves, when compared to sunﬂecks shorter than 30 min. In SS leaves, changes were, again, negligible. The multi-layered foliage of Q. suber seedlings allowed i) FSLE leaves to obtain the maximum photosynthetic yield for short sunﬂecks, and ii) SS leaves to increase their contribution to the photosynthesis of the whole plant for long sunﬂecks, thus, optimizing the use of light by FSLE and SS leaves during short and long sunﬂecks respectively. Therefore, shoot architecture of Q. suber seedlings involving high levels of self-shading allows to adequately cope with the low but highly heterogeneous light conditions of the understory, particularly when sunﬂecks of contrasting durations take place as it is frequently the case for evergreen Mediterranean forests</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;publisher: Elsevier Masson SAS</style></notes></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Javier Peguero-Pina, Jose</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Sancho-Knapik, Domingo</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morales, Fermín</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Flexas, Jaume</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Differential photosynthetic performance and photoprotection mechanisms of three Mediterranean evergreen oaks under severe drought stress</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FUNCTIONAL PLANT BIOLOGY</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">morphological convergence</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">photoprotection</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">physiological performance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Summer aridity</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">water stress</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">CSIRO PUBLISHING</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">150 OXFORD ST, PO BOX 1139, COLLINGWOOD, VICTORIA 3066, AUSTRALIA</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">36</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">453-462</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The ability of three Mediterranean oaks (Quercus coccifera L., Quercus ilex ssp. ballota (Desf.) Samp and Quercus suber L.) to cope with intense drought was investigated. Water stress reduced stomatal conductance and photosynthesis in these species. Drought-mediated changes in photosynthetic-related parameters allowed the characterisation of the specific photo-protective mechanisms. Specifically, Q. suber downregulated photosynthetic electron transport rates (ETR) closing PSII reaction centres (i.e. decreasing photochemical quenching) and through an antheraxanthin (A) + zeaxanthin (Z)-mediated diminished intrinsic PSII efficiency (Phi(exc.).). These changes were lower in Q. coccifera and Q. ilex ssp. ballota, which decreased further ETR photo-inactivating PSII centres (evidenced by their low predawn F(v)/F(m) ratios at high water stress). The predawn F(v)/F(m) ratio decreased in Q. coccifera largely due to F(m) decreases, whereas in Q. ilex ssp. ballota F(v)/F(m) decreases were due to F(0) increases, below -4 MPa. These F(v)/F(m) decreases were well correlated with increases in the A + Z photo-protective pigments. An analysis of dark respiration and photorespiration as alternative electron sinks under intense drought stress also revealed interspecific differences. The largest imbalance between electrons generated and consumed increased potentially oxidative damage in Q. suber. Subsequently, only Q. suber showed loss of chlorophyll, which is one of the main targets of oxidative damage. Data suggest that Q. coccifera and Q. ilex ssp. ballota seem more able than Q. suber to withstand highly xeric conditions. Therefore, our results question the consideration of Mediterranean evergreen oaks as a homogeneous physiological group.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Corcuera, Leyre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morales, Fermín</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ESCLEROFILIZACION DEL PAISAJE MEDITERRÁNEO</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">IV Congreso Forestal Español</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cambio climático</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">cambios en el paisaje</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">carácter perennifolio/caducifolio</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">competencia interespecífica</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus spp</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">La encina es una especie con una amplitud bioclimática muy grande ya que aparece en los bioclimas semiáridos, subhúmedos, húmedos y perhúmedos (sensu Ememberg) de la Península Ibérica.

We selected a coppice stand in the Iberian Peninsula, which is characterized by a Mediterranean climate under continental influence. We measured internode length, tree-ring width, mean and maximum vessel diameter, and vessel density for 1981– 1997. The annual predicted hydraulic conductance (Kh) was calculated following Hagen-Poisseuille’s law. We compared the tree-ring width, vessel diameter and Kh of Q. ilex subsp. ballota and co-existing ring-porous oaks (Q. faginea, Q. pyrenaica) for a dry summer (1994) and a wet summer (1997). To evaluate the drought-resistance of xylem for Q. ilex subsp. ballota (dominant under continental conditions) and Q. ilex subsp. ilex (dominant in mild areas) we determined vulnerability curves. Dimensionless indices of internode length, tree-ring width, and vessel density were compared with climatic data (monthly total precipitation and mean temperature) using correlation analyses. Internode length, tree-ring width, Kh, and mean and maximum vessel diameter declined in 1994. According to vulnerability curves, Q. ilex subsp. ballota showed a greater drought resistance than Q. ilex subsp. ilex. During the year of growth, we found a positive influence of January and June–August precipitation on the internode length, tree-ring width, and vessel density. The response of Q. ilex subsp. ballota radial-growth to summer drought was comparable to that of Q. faginea latewood. Overall, growth and wood anatomy of Q. ilex subsp. ballota showed a plastic response to drought.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Esteso-Martínez, Jordán</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Gil-Pelegrín, Eustaquio</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Frost resistance of seeds in Mediterranean oaks and the role of litter</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.
