Transcriptome Comparison of Cabernet Sauvignon Grape Berries from Two Regions with Distinct Climate

ABSTRACT: To obtain an interpretation from the view of transcriptome on distinct metabolite accumulation between ecologically different regions in China, next-generation sequencing technology was performed on E-L 31, 35 and 38 stages of Cabernet Sauvignon grape berries from Changli (CL, eastern) and Gaotai (GT, western). The transcript abundance of epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase and xanthoxin dehydrogenase required for ABA biosynthesis was significantly higher in the GT berries at E-L 35 and 38 stages compared with the CL berries, which may explain the relatively short maturation period of berries in the western region. Some genes required for carbohydrate metabolism, such as hexose transporter, L-idonate dehydrogenase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, were significantly up-regulated in the CL berries in relative to the GT berries, which positively correlated with the sugar and organic acid accumulations. Pathway enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes revealed that the CL berries had higher levels of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis at E-L 38 stage than the GT berries, which may relate to the quick fading of the GT wines because of weak co-pigmentation. cDNA libraries generated from three developmental stages (E-L 31, 35 and 38) of Cabernet Sauvignon grape berries from Changli (CL, eastern) and Gaotai (GT, western) in China were sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000.

Primary and secondary metabolism in grape berries is under the control of complex interactions among environmental conditions, genotypes, and management practices. To obtain an interpretation from the view of transcriptome on distinct metabolite accumulation between ecologically different regions in China, next-generation sequencing technology was performed on E-L 31, 35, and 38 stages of Cabernet Sauvignon grape berries from Changli (CL, eastern) and Gaotai (GT, western).

Project description:Background: Phenotypic plasticity refers to the range of phenotypes a single genotype can express as a function of its environment. These phenotypic variations are attributable to the effect of the environment on the expression and function of genes influencing plastic traits. We investigated phenotypic plasticity in grapevine by comparing the berry transcriptome in a single clone of the vegetatively-propagated common grapevine species Vitis vinifera cultivar Corvina through three consecutive growth years cultivated in 11 different vineyards in the Verona area of Italy. Results: Most of the berry transcriptome clustered by year of growth rather than common environmental conditions or viticulture practices, and transcripts related to secondary metabolism showed high sensitivity towards different climates, as confirmed also by metabolomic data obtained from the same samples. When analyzed in 11 vineyards during one growth year, the environmentally-sensitive berry transcriptome comprised 5% of protein-coding genes and 18% of the transcripts modulated during berry development. Plastic genes were particularly enriched in ontology categories such as transcription factors, translation, transport and secondary metabolism. Specific plastic transcripts were associated with groups of vineyards sharing common viticulture practices or environmental conditions, and plastic transcriptome reprogramming was more intense in the year characterized by extreme weather conditions. We also identified a set of genes that lacked plasticity, showing either constitutive expression or similar modulation in all berries. Conclusions: Our data reveal candidate genes potentially responsible for the phenotypic plasticity of grapevine and provide the first step towards the characterization of grapevine transcriptome plasticity under different agricultural systems. Vitis vinifera cultivar Corvina clone 48 berries were harvested from different vineyards, each located in one of the three most important wine production macro-areas of the Verona region: Bardolino, Valpolicella and Soave, on the basis of the site geographical coordinates. For each of the selected vineyards, specific environmental conditions (altitude and type of soil) and farming and agricultural practices used (training system, rows facing direction, planting layout, vineyard age and rootstock type) were recorded. Vineyards were selected in order to maximize differences in locations and in microenvironmental and farming conditions. Berries were harvested at three different developmental stages: véraison, mid-ripening and harvest; each sample was collected in three biological replicates, to cover the whole vineyard variability. The same sampling procedure had been repeated over three consecutive vintages (2006, 2007 and 2008).

Project description:Background: Grapevine berry, a nonclimacteric fruit, goes through three developmental stages, the last one called the ripening stage, when the berry changes color and dramatically increases in sugar. Flavors derived from terpenoid and fatty acid metabolism develop at the very end of this ripening stage. Whole-genome microarray analysis was used to assess the transcriptomic response of pulp and skin of Cabernet Sauvignon berries in the latter stages of ripening between 22 and 37 M-BM-0Brix. Grapevine berry, a nonclimacteric fruit, goes through three developmental stages, the last one called the ripening stage, when the berry changes color and dramatically increases in sugar. Flavors derived from terpenoid and fatty acid metabolism develop at the very end of this ripening stage. Whole-genome microarray analysis was used to assess the transcriptomic response of pulp and skin of Cabernet Sauvignon berries in the latter stages of ripening between 22 and 37 M-BM-0Brix. Results: There were approximatedly 18,000 transcripts whose abundance changed with M-BM-0Brix level and tissue type. There were very broad changes in many gene ontology (GO) categories involving metabolism, signaling and abiotic stress. GO categories reflecting tissue differences were overrepresentation in photoysynthesis, isoprenoid metabolism and pigment biosynthesis. A more detailed analysis of the interaction of the skin and pulp with M-BM-0Brix levels revealed that there were significantly higher abundances of transcripts changing with M-BM-0Brix level in the skin that were involved in ethylene signaling, isoprenoid and fatty acid metabolism. Many of these transcripts were peaking around the optimal fruit stage for flavor production. The transcript abundance of approximately two-thirds of the AP2/ERF Superfamily of transcription factors changed during these developmental stages. The transcript abundance of a unique clade of ERF6-type transcription factors had the largest changes and clustered with other genes involved in ethylene, senescence, and fruit flavor production including ACC oxidase, terpene synthases, and lipoxygenases. The transcript abundance of other important transcription factors (i.e. SPL, RIN, etc.) involved in the regulation of fruit ripening was also higher in the skin. Conclusions: A detailed analysis of the transcriptomic response of grapevine berries revealed that these berries went through massive changes in chemical signaling and metabolism in both the pulp and skin, particularly in the skin. The ethylene signaling pathway of this nonclimacteric fruit was significantly stimulated in the late stages of ripening when the production of transcripts for important flavor and aroma compounds were at their highest. Ethylene transcription factors known to play a role in leaf senescence also appear to play a role in fruit senescence. Ethylene may play a bigger role than previously thought in this non-climacteric fruit. Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon (clone 8 scion on 1130 Paulsen rootstock) berries were harvested from J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines, Paso Robles, CA, USA. Whole-genome microarray analysis was used to assess the transcriptomic response of pulp and skin of berries in the latter stages of ripening between 22 and 37 M-BM-0Brix (2008 vintage).

Project description:Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV) is a widespread virus affecting Vitis spp. Although it has established a compatible viral interaction in Vitis vinifera L. without the development of phenotypic alterations, it can occur as distinct variants that show different symptoms in diverse Vitis species. We investigated the changes induced by GRSPaV in V. vinifera cv Bosco, an Italian white grape variety, by combining agronomic, physiological, and molecular approaches, in order to provide comprehensive information about the global effects of GRSPaV. In two consecutive years, this virus caused a moderate decrease in physiological efficiency, yield performance, and sugar content in berries associated with several transcriptomic alterations. Transcript profiles were analysed by microarray techniques in petiole, leaf, and berry samples collected at véraison and by quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) in a time course carried out at five relevant grapevine developmental stages. Global gene expression analyses showed that transcriptomic changes were highly variable among the different organs and the different phenological phases. GRSPaV triggers some unique responses in the grapevine at véraison, never reported before for other plant-virus interactions, such as an increase in transcripts involved in photosynthesis and CO2 fixation, associated with a moderate reduction in the photosynthesis rate and some defence mechanisms, and to an overlap with responses to water and salinity stresses. We hypothesise that the long co-existence between grapevine and GRSPaV has resulted in the evolution of a form of mutual adaptation between the virus and its host. This study contributes to elucidating alternative mechanisms used by infected plants to contend with viruses. The study was carried out in a vineyard planted in 2002 in Albenga (Liguria), North-West Italy, where a row was established with the white grape cultivar Bosco (V. vinifera L.). Microarray analysis was carried out on leaves, petioles, and berries collected at véraison (E-L35) in 2010. For each of the six GRSPaV-free and six GRSPaV-infected vines selected for the physiological and agronomical parameters evaluation, we collected 6 leaves (3 basal and 3 apical) with the related petioles and 12 berries from 3 different bunches. Samples from each organ were arbitrary pooled in 3 independent biological replicates and total RNA was extracted according to the method described by Gambino et al. (2008).
