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: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 ‘Regent’, when compared to the susceptible cultivar ‘Trincadeira’, 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 ‘Regent’ is induced after infection. This study provides the identification of several candidate genes that may be related to ‘Regent’ defense mechanisms, allowing a better understanding of this cultivar's resistance traits.
