Tracking cell wall changes in wine and table grapes undergoing Botrytis cinerea infection using glycan microarrays.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

The necrotrophic fungus Botrytis cinerea infects a broad range of fruit crops including domesticated grapevine Vitis vinifera cultivars. Damage caused by this pathogen is severely detrimental to the table and wine grape industries and results in substantial crop losses worldwide. The apoplast and cell wall interface is an important setting where many plant-pathogen interactions take place and where some defence-related messenger molecules are generated. Limited studies have investigated changes in grape cell wall composition upon infection with B. cinerea, with much being inferred from studies on other fruit crops.

Methods

In this study, comprehensive microarray polymer profiling in combination with monosaccharide compositional analysis was applied for th
