Project description:A possible approach for gel-based proteomic studies in recalcitrant woody plants, using phenol as the most suitable protein extraction method when working with tissues with high interfering compounds
Project description:The first genome-wide transcriptomic atlas of grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is based on 54 diverse samples expressing ~93% of predicted grapevine genes. Pollen and senescent leaves have unique transcriptomes but microarray analysis grouped all other samples into vegetative/green or mature/woody categories based on maturity rather than organ identity. This fundamental transcriptome reprograming during maturation was highlighted by three distinct statistical approaches supported by gene coexpression analysis. The shift to the mature/woody developmental program results from the reiterative coactivation of pathways that are largely inactive in vegetative/green tissues, often involving the coregulation of neighboring genes and global regulation based on codon preference.
