NGS of virus derived small RNAs as a diagnostics method used to determine viromes of Hungarian vineyards

ABSTRACT: As virus diseases cannot be controlled by traditional plant protection methods the risk of their spread have to be minimized on vegetatively propagated plants, such as grapevine. Metagenomics approaches used for virus diagnostics, offer a unique opportunity to reveal the presence of all viral pathogens in the investigated plant, why their usage can reduce the risk of using infected material for a new plantation. Here we used a special field, deep sequencing of virus derived small RNAs, of this high throughput method for virus diagnostics and determined viromes of vineyards in Hungary. With NGS of virus derived small RNAs we could detect not only the viruses tested routinely, but also new ones, which have never been described in Hungary before. Virus presence didn’t correlated with the age of the plantation, moreover phylogenetic analysis of the identified virus isolates suggests that infections mostly caused by the usage of infected propagating material. Our results, validated by other molecular methods, highlighted further questions to be answered before these method can be introduced as a routine, reliable test for grapevine virus diagnostics.

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).
