Project description:Winter season with reduced day length (photoperiod); led to the growth cessation, dormancy induction and cold acclimation in woody perennial plants. To develop an understanding of the photoperiod signal transduction in Vitis riparia; shoot tip transcriptome profiling was performed under differential photoperiod treatments (long (LD, 15h) and short day (SD, 13h)) for 7 or 21 days after shoots reached 10 nodes (LD7, SD7, LD21 or SD21).
