Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Grape Berry in Response to Root Restriction during Developmental Stages.

ABSTRACT: Root restriction improved berry quality by being involved in diverse aspects of grapevine life. However, the molecular mechanism driving this process is not understood very well. In this study, the 'Summer Black' grape berry (Vitis vinifera × V. labrusca) under root restriction was investigated, which showed an increase of total soluble solids (TSS), color index of red grapes (CIRG) value, anthocyanins accumulation, total phenolics and total procyanidins contents during berry development compared with those in control berries. The transcriptomic changes induced by root restriction in 'Summer Black' grape over the course of berry development were analyzed by RNA-Seq method. A total of 29,971 genes were generated in 'Summer Black' grape berry during development, among which, 1606 gene
