High-throughput gene-expression quantification of grapevine defense responses in the field using microfluidic dynamic arrays.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The fight against grapevine diseases due to biotrophic pathogens usually requires the massive use of chemical fungicides with harmful environmental effects. An alternative strategy could be the use of compounds able to stimulate plant immune responses which significantly limit the development of pathogens in laboratory conditions. However, the efficiency of this strategy in natura is still insufficient to be included in pest management programs. To understand and to improve the mode of action of plant defense stimulators in the field, it is essential to develop reliable tools that describe the resistance status of the plant upon treatment.

Results

We have developed a pioneering tool ("NeoViGen96" chip) based on a microfluidic dynamic array platform allowing the ex
