The VviNAC33 acts a molecular switch by activating leaf degreening and repressing vegetative growth during the immature-to-mature phase transition in grapevine

ABSTRACT: In this study we demonstrated that the grapevine NAC transcription factor VviNAC33 is directly involved in leaf degreening and organ growth. Through the application of DAP-seq approach we identified several putative targets of VviNAC33, among which the SGR1 involved in the breakdown of chlorophyll. Stable VviNAC33 overexpressing transgenic plants displayed an obvious degreening effect on leaves and an inhibition of leaf growth. Consistently, transgenic plant expressing a chimeric repressor of the VviNAC33 showed the opposite phenotypic alterations. Our results evidenced that VviNAC33 is a direct player of leaf senescence program and propose a blueprint of the complex transcriptional regulatory network that govern organ phase transition in grapevine.

Project description:Grapevine red blotch is a recently identified viral disease that was first recognized in the Napa Valley of California. Infected plants showed foliar symptoms similar to leafroll, another grapevine viral disease, on vines testing negative for known grapevine leafroll-associated virus. Later, the Grapevine red blotch virus (GRBV) was independently discovered in the US states of California and New York and was demonstrated to be the causal agent of red blotch disease. Due to its wide occurrence in the US, vector transmission and impacts on grape industry, this virus has the potential to cause serious economic losses. Despite numerous attempts, it was not possible to isolate or visualize viral particles from GRBV infected plants. Consequently, this has hampered the development of a serological assay that would facilitate GRBV detection in grapevine. We therefore decided to explore mass spectrometry approaches in order to quantify GRBV in infected plants and to identify potential biomarkers for viral infection. We present for the first time the physical detection on the protein level of the two GRBV genes V1 (coat protein) and V2 in grapevine tissue lysates. The GRBV coat protein load in leaf petioles was determined to be in the range of 100 to 900 million copies per milligram wet weight by using three heavy isotope labeled reference peptides as internal standards. The V1 copy number per unit wet tissue weight in leaves appeared to be about six times lower, and about 200-times lower in terms of protein concentration in the extractable protein mass than in petioles. We found a consistent upregulation of several enzymes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis in leaf and petiole extracts of GRBV-infected plants by label-free shotgun proteomics, indicating the activation of a defense mechanism against GRBV, a plant response already described for grapevine leafroll associated virus infection on the transcriptome level. Last but not least, we identified some other microorganisms belonging to the grapevine leaf microbiota, two bacterial species (Novosphingobium sp. Rr 2-17 and Methylobacterium) and one virus, Grapevine rupestris stem pitting associated virus.
