The number of ESTs represents their distribution in the female (1F+2F) and male (1M+2M) Q. suber combined flower library. Selected genes were identified by homology with functional important allergen genes included in the WHO-IUIS allergen list. The deduced aminoacid sequences of these genes were annotated using InterProScan. Gene accessions according to CorkOak database (www.corkoakdb.org).
