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:we analyzed pathogen-induced changes in the transcriptome of Vitis vinifera ‘Cabernet sauvignon’ and Vitis aestivalis ‘Norton’ by conducting a large-scale study to measure transcript abundance at 0, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hours post-treatment in conidiospore- and mock-inoculated leaves using Affymetrix GeneChip Vitis vinifera Genome Array Keywords: time course
Project description:Protein expression from berry skin of four different red grape biotypes was compared at a proteome-wide level by bottom-up shotgun proteomics, label free quantification and MaxQuant-assisted computational analysis. Red grapes were from a purebred Vitis vinifera (Aglianico cv.), a V. vinifera (local Sciascinoso cv.) grafted onto an American rootstock, an interspecific hybrid (V. vinifera × V. labrusca, Isabel) and an uncharacterized red grape with some hybrid lineage, as demonstrated by the presence of relatively high amounts of anthocyanidin 3,5-O-diglucosides. The aim was assessing the differences among red grape biotypes at a protein expression levels, also addressing the possible effect of the grafting on the phenotypic expression of some key metabolic enzymes in grape berries.
Project description:Bud endodormancy induction response of two genotypes (Seyval, a hybrid white wine grape and Vitis riparia, PI588259, a native North American grape species) was compared under long (15 h) and short (13 h) photoperiods. Proteins were extracted from both genotypes for all time points and experimental conditions. The proteins were separaed by 2D-PAGE, trypsin digested, and the peptides identified with a MALDI-TOF-TOF mass spectrometer. A master gel was made and mapped with all proteins from both genotypes. The proteins were identified by matching the peptide sequences against the 8X Vitis vinifera grape genome in NCBI. This study was funded by NSF grant DBI064755 and is the result of a collaboration between Dr. Anne Fennell at South Dakota State University and Dr. Grant R. Cramer at the University of Nevada, Reno.

Project description:Methods:transcriptomes of the different development stages of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Vitis quinquangularis accession Danfeng-2 were analyzed using Illumina Hiseq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed: TopHat followed by Cufflinks. mRNA profiles of different development stages of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Vitis quinquangularis accession Danfeng-2 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500.
