Project description:Drought has become an increasingly important constraint on grapevine sustainability due to global climate change. Vitis riparia, the only grapevine native to the upper Midwest region of the United States, is widely used in scion and rootstock breeding; however, it is not considered drought tolerant. In this study, RNA-Seq data were generated from grapevine root/shoot under WD and well-watered (control (C)) conditions to compare root signaling and shoot responses to water deficit.
