Project description:In order to investigate the putative roles of the VvPLCP genes in grapevine resistance, the leaves-specific expression patterns of VvPLCPs were analyzed according to transcriptome data in two cultivars including V. vinifera cv. ‘Zitian Seedless’ and Vitis rootstocks ‘Kober 5BB’ when infected with P. viticola
Project description:Plants regenerated from tissue culture frequently show somaclonal variation. In this study we compared the transcriptomic and epigenetic state of embryogenic callus of grapevine with leaves from mature grapevine plants. In particular, we focussed on the expression of transposable elements and changes in siRNA abundance and genome-wide methylation in these tissues.

Project description:Study of gene expression during Plasmopara viticola infection in the resistant Vitis vinifera cultivar 'Regent'. The oomycete fungus Plasmopara viticola (Berk. et Curt.) Berl. et de Toni is responsible for grapevine downy mildew disease. Most of the cultivated grapevines are sensitive to this pathogen, thus requiring intensive fungicide treatments. The molecular basis of resistance to this pathogen is poorly understood. We have carried out a cDNA microarray transcriptome analysis to identify grapevine genes associated with resistance traits. Early transcriptional changes associated with downy mildew infection in the resistant Vitis vinifera cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XRegentM-bM-^@M-^Y, when compared to the susceptible cultivar M-bM-^@M-^XTrincadeiraM-bM-^@M-^Y, were analyzed. Transcript levels were measured at three time-points: 0, 6 and 12 hours post inoculation (hpi). Our data indicate that resistance in V. vinifera M-bM-^@M-^XRegentM-bM-^@M-^Y is induced after infection. This study provides the identification of several candidate genes that may be related to M-bM-^@M-^XRegentM-bM-^@M-^Y defense mechanisms, allowing a better understanding of this cultivar's resistance traits. 3 time points: 0, 6 and 12 hours post inoculation by P. viticola. Two cultivars: control (Trinacedira) and test (Regent). Two biological replicates were performed at 0 hpi, and 3 biological replicates at 6 and 12hpi. At 12hpi, three technical replicates also were performed.
Project description:Berry skin total protein from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Semillon. Treatments were control (well-watered) versus restricted irrigation (water-deficit). Samples were taken from harvest-ripe whole berry clusters following a seasonal water deficit in treatment vines. A comparative analysis between the cultivars and treatments was performed. Associated dataset identifiers: GSE72421, PRJNA268857.
