Project description:Flavescence dorée is the most serious grapevine yellows disease in Europe. It is caused by phytoplasmas which are transmitted from grapevine to grapevine by the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus. Differences in susceptibility among grapevine varieties suggest the existence of specific genetic features associated with resistance to the phytoplasma and/or possibly with its vector. In this work, RNA-Seq was used to compare early transcriptional changes occurring during the three-trophic interaction between the phytoplasma, its vector and the grapevine, represented by two different cultivars, one very susceptible to the disease and the other scarcely susceptible. Background: Flavescence dorée is the most serious grapevine yellows disease in Europe. It is caused by phytoplasmas which are transmitted from grapevine to grapevine by the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus. Differences in susceptibility among grapevine varieties suggest the existence of specific genetic features associated with resistance to the phytoplasma and/or possibly with its vector. In this work, RNA-Seq was used to compare early transcriptional changes occurring during the three-trophic interaction between the phytoplasma, its vector and the grapevine, represented by two different cultivars, one very susceptible to the disease and the other scarcely susceptible. The comparison of the transcriptomic responses highlighted both passive and active defense mechanisms against the vector and/or the pathogen in the scarcely-susceptible variety, as well as the capacity of the phytoplasmas to repress the defense reaction against the insect in the susceptible variety.
Project description:Transcriptional profiling of Vitis vinifera cv. Chardonnay healthy vs. Phytoplasma-infected plants (Bois noir phytoplasma). Study was conducted on grapevine plants grown in the same vineyard (leaf midribs were sampled). Keywords: disease state analysis Two-condition experiment: healthy vs. infected plants/shoots. Biological replicates: 4 healthy, 4 infected. No replicates. Each sample was prepared as a pool of several samples (each sample was collected from a different shoots/plants) of the same disease status. Each sample was co-hybridized to a common reference cRNA (pool of all samples).
Project description:Several systemic diseases affect Vitis vinifera worldwide with important consequent management costs. Phytoplasma and viruses represent the most detrimental pathogens inducing symptoms and metabolic alterations that modify quantitatively the crop production. In the aim to investigate the plant/pathogen interactions, different grapevine samples, naturally affected (in mixed or single infections) by Stolbur phytoplasma (agent of Bois Noir disease) and viruses, in comparison to healthy and recovered controls, to identify the plant response to systemic pathogen infection. The preliminary results showed that expression levels of thousands of genes were altered in infected plants, involving various metabolic pathways.

The preliminary results showed that expression levels of thousands of genes were altered in infected plants, involving various metabolic pathways. Total RNA was extracted from central leaf midribs and petioles from different V. vinifera cultivars in different conditions (healthy, infected and recovered). Microarray analyses were conducted using different biological replicates for treatment. The submitter of this dataset can no longer locate the raw data
