Project description:In order to circumvent environmental changes throughout fruit development, young and ripening berries were sampled simultaneously on continuously flowering microvines acclimated to controlled circadian light and temperature changes. Gene expression profiles along fruit development were monitored during both day and night with whole genome microarray Nimbelgen® vitis 12x, yielding a total number of 9273 developmentally modulated probesets. All day-detected transcripts were modulated at night, whereas 1755 genes were night-specific. Very similar developmental patterns of gene expression were observed upon independent hierarchical clustering of day and night data, whereas functional categories of allocated transcripts varied according to time of the day. Many transcripts within pathways, known to be upregulated during ripening, in particular those linked to secondary metabolism exhibited a clearer developmental regulation at night than during the day. Functional enrichment analysis also indicated that diurnally modulated genes considerably varied during fruit development, with a shift from cellular organization and photosynthesis in green berries to secondary metabolism and stress-related genes in ripening ones. These results reveal critical changes in gene expression during night development that differ from day development which have not been observed in other transcriptomic studies on fruit development so far. A total of 24 samples were analyzed representing four berry developmental stages (two during green development, two during ripening). Sample were drawn simultaneously in triplicates at day and night on the microvine dwarf (DRCF) GAI mutant.

Project description:Background: Global climate change, in particular the entailed predicted temperature increase, will noticeably affect plants vegetative and reproductive development. High temperatures alter the composition of the grapevine fruit, one of the most important fruits produced worldwide. This is leading to variable yield and quality, already observed in many growing regions in recent years. However, physiological processes underlying temperature response and tolerance of the grapevine fruit have hardly been investigated. Currently, all studies on fleshy fruits investigating their abiotic stress response on a molecular level were conducted during the day but possible night-specific variations were overlooked. The present study explores the grapevine fruit transcriptomic response at different developmental stages upon heat stress at day and night. Methodology/Principal Results: Short heat stresses (2 h) were applied at day and night to vines bearing clusters sequentially ordered according to the developmental stages along their vertical axis. The recently proposed microvine model was grown in climatic chambers in order to circumvent common constraints and biases introduced in field experiments with perennial vines. Post-véraison berry heterogeneity inside clusters was evaded upon constituting homogenous batches following organic acid and sugar measurements on individual berries. A whole genome transcriptomic approach was subsequently conducted using NimbelGen® 090918 12X microarrays (30K). Results revealed important differences in heat stress responsive pathways according to day or night treatment, in particular regarding genes within phenylpropanoid metabolism. Precise distinction of post-véraison stages led to a stage-specific detection of anthocyanin-related transcripts repressed by heat. Important modifications in cell wall-related processes as well as indications for a heat-induced delay of ripening and sugar accumulation were observed at véraison and reversed in later stages. Conclusion: This first day - night study on heat stress adaption of the grapevine berry shows that the transcriptome of fleshy fruits is differentially affected by abiotic stress at night. The present results emphasize the necessity to include different developmental stages and especially different time points in transcriptomic studies. A total of 12 samples were analyzed representing three berry developmental stages (two after the onset of ripening, one during green growth). At each stage, heat stress was applied at day and night. Controls and treated berry samples were drawn in triplicates (two in duplicates) at day and at night on the microvine dwarf (Dwarf Rapid Cycling and Continous Flowering; DRCF) gibberellin-insensitive (GAI) mutant.

Project description:Grapevine is a commercially important fruit crop that provides berries for direct consumption, juice pressing, drying (raisins), and fermentation to produce wine. The economic value of the crop has encouraged many researchers to study the physiological and molecular basis of berry development, particularly processes that affect wine quality. Post-harvest withering of grapevine berries is used in the production of dessert and fortified wines to alter must quality characteristics and to increase the concentration of simple sugars. Vitis vinifera cv Corvina berries were sampled during the 2006 growing season at four developmental time points and three additional time points during the 91-day post-harvest withering process. The four developmental time points were 59, 71, 98 and 112 days after fruit set, corresponding to pre-veraison, veraison, early ripening and late ripening, and the three withering time points (WI, WII and WIII) were 35, 56 and 91 days after harvest. Three biological replicates were taken at each time point resulting in a total of 21 samples.

Project description:The study investigated protein dynamics throughout fruit developmental and ripening process of blue-colored bilberry. The proteomic approach was applied to study at four different ripening stages, S2-small green fruit, S3- large green fruit, S4- purple ripening fruit, S5- ripe, blue fruit of bilberry. Regulatory network of plant hormones and physiological processes occurring during bilberry fruit ripening was revealed for the first time. The white-colored mutant bilberry, at the ripe stage, was also investigated differences compared to wild, blue-colored berries.

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:Temperature and solar radiation influence Vitis vinifera L. berry ripening. Both environmental conditions fluctuate cyclically on a daily period basis and the strength of this fluctuation affects grape ripening too. Additionally, a molecular circadian clock regulates daily cyclic expression in a large proportion of the plant transcriptome modulating multiple developmental processes in diverse plant organs and developmental phases. Circadian cycling of fruit transcriptomes has not been characterized in detail despite their putative relevance in the final composition of the fruit. Thus, in this study, gene expression throughout 24 h periods in pre-ripe berries of Tempranillo and Verdejo grapevine cultivars was followed to determine whether different ripening transcriptional programs are activated during certain times of day in different grape tissues and genotypes. Results: Microarray analyses identified oscillatory transcriptional profiles following circadian variations in the photocycle and the thermocycle. A higher number of expression oscillating transcripts were detected in samples carrying exocarp tissue including biotic stress-responsive transcripts activated around dawn. Thermotolerance-like responses and regulation of circadian clock-related genes were observed in all studied samples. Indeed, homologs of core clock genes were identified in the grapevine genome and, among them, VvREVEILLE1 (VvRVE1), showed a consistent circadian expression rhythm in every grape berry tissue analysed. Light signalling components and terpenoid biosynthetic transcripts were specifically induced during the daytime in Verdejo, a cultivar bearing white-skinned and aromatic berries, whereas transcripts involved in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis were more prominently regulated in Tempranillo, a cultivar bearing black-skinned berries. Conclusions: The transcriptome of ripening fruits varies in response to daily environmental changes, which might partially be under the control of circadian clock components. Certain cultivar and berry tissue features could rely on specific circadian oscillatory expression profiles. These findings may help to a better understanding of the progress of berry ripening in short term time scales.

Project description:In commercial fruit production, synchronized ripening and stable shelf life are important properties. The loosely clustered or non-bunching muscadine grape has unrealized potential as a disease resistant cash crop, but requires repeated hand harvesting due to its unsynchronized or long or heterogeneous maturation period. Genomic research can be used to identify the developmental and environmental factors that control fruit ripening and postharvest quality. This study coupled the morphological, biochemical, and genetic variations between ‘Carlos’ and ‘Noble’ muscadine grape cultivars with RNA-sequencing analysis during berry maturation. The levels of antioxidants, anthocyanins, and titratable acids varied between the two cultivars during the ripening process. We also identified new genes, pathways, and regulatory networks that modulated berry ripening in muscadine grape. These findings may help develop a large-scale database of the genetic factors of muscadine grape ripening and postharvest profiles and allow the discovery of the factors underlying the ripeness heterogeneity at harvest. These genetic resources may allow us to combine applied and basic research methods in breeding to improve table and wine grape ripening uniformity, quality, stress tolerance, and postharvest handling and storage.
