Transcriptome analysis during seed development provides insights into co-regulated and altered gene expression between a seeded wine grape variety and it seedless somatic variant.

ABSTRACT: We report the application of Illumina mRNA sequencing technology for high-throughput profiling of the transcriptome of a seeded wine cultivar (wild-type) and its seedless somatic variant (mutant), sampled at three key growth stages of grapevine: E-L 15 (single flowers in compact groups), E-L 27 (young berries enlarging) and E-L 38 (berries harvest-ripe). By obtaining over 126 to 143 million and 102 to 127 million reads of 100-bp in length for the wild-type and mutant respectively, we have for the first time provided a holistic view of the transcriptional landscape during seed development in both phenotypes. We found that comparison of differentially expressed (DE) genes, gene patterns and gene enrichment between the wild-type and mutant distinguished transcriptional events in the two line
