Identification of defense related gene families and their response against powdery and downy mildew infections in Vitis vinifera.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) productivity has been severely affected by various bacterial, viral and fungal diseases worldwide. When a plant is infected with the pathogen, various defense mechanisms are subsequently activated in plants at various molecular levels. Thus, for substantiating the disease control in an eco-friendly way, it is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms governing pathogen resistance in grapes.

Results

In our study, we performed genome-wide identification of various defensive genes expressed during powdery mildew (PM) and downy mildew (DM) infections in grapevine. Consequently, we identified 6, 21, 2, 5, 3 and 48 genes of Enhanced Disease Susceptibility 1 (EDS1), Non-Race-specific Disease Resistance (NDR1), Phytoalexin deficient 4 (PA
