Project description:Methods:transcriptomes of the different development stages of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Vitis quinquangularis accession Danfeng-2 were analyzed using Illumina Hiseq 2500. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed: TopHat followed by Cufflinks. mRNA profiles of different development stages of Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet Sauvignon and Vitis quinquangularis accession Danfeng-2 were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq 2500.

Project description:European grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera spp.) are highly susceptible to the downy mildew pathogen Plasmopara viticola. Breeding of resistant V. vinifera cultivars is a promising strategy to reduce the impact of disease management. Most cultivars that have been bred for resistance to downy mildew, rely on resistance mediated by the Rpv3 (Resistance to P. viticola) locus. However, despite the extensive use of this locus, little is known about the mechanism of Rpv3-mediated resistance. In this study, Rpv3-mediated defense responses were studied in Rpv3+ and Rpv3ˉ grapevine cultivars following inoculation with two distinct P. viticola isolates avrRpv3+ and avrRpv3ˉ, with the latter being able to overcome Rpv3 resistance. Based on comparative microscopic, metabolomic and transcriptomic analyses, our results show that the Rpv3-mediated resistance is associated with a defense mechanism that triggers synthesis of fungi-toxic stilbenes and programmed cell death (PCD), resulting in reduced but not suppressed pathogen growth and development. Functional annotation of the encoded protein sequence of genes significantly upregulated during the Rpv3-mediated defense response revealed putative roles in pathogen recognition, signal transduction and defense responses.
Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare NGS-derived flower development transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) of two subspecies Methods: Flower mRNA profiles of wild-type (WT) four developmental stages and the same stages of Vitis vinifera subp vinifera were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina. Initial quality assessment was based on data passing the Illumina Chastity filtering. Subsequently, reads containing adapters and/or PhiX control signal were removed using an in-house filtering protocol. The second quality assessment was based on the remaining reads using the FASTQC quality control tool version 0.10.0. qRT–PCR validation was performed using EvaGreen assays. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped about 13 to 19 million sequence reads per Vitis sample, 50 bp in length equivalent to 1.5 Gb of total sequence data by each sample. The exception was male stage G (M_G) were only 7 to 8 million sequence reads were obtained. Five genes (VvTFL1, VvLFY, VvAP1, Vv AP3, VvPI), related to flowering development, were used to validate RNA-Seq data and to test for data reproducibility through qRT–PCR. The coefficient of correlation (r) obtained between the log2 of RPKM (RNA-Seq) versus log2 of mRNA average number (RT-qPCR), varied from ≈ 0.97 (VvTLF) to ≈ 0.73 (VvPI) indicating a good correlation between both techniques and thus validating our RNA-Seq results. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed transcriptome analysis of four Vitis flower developmental stages, with the same individual, in three genders, generated by RNA-seq technology. The optimized data analysis workflows reported here should provide a framework for comparative investigations of expression profiles. Our results show that NGS offers a comprehensive and accurate quantitative and qualitative evaluation of mRNA contentper developmental stage. We conclude that RNA-seq based transcriptome characterization would expedite genetic network analyses and permit the dissection of complex biologic functions. Flowering mRNA profiles of four developmental stages of Vitis wild type (WT) and the domesticated Vitis were generated by deep sequencing using Illumina HiSeq 2500.
Project description:Vitis vinifera endogenous small RNAs Size fractionated small RNA from total RNA extracts of Vitis vinifera leaves, inflorescences, tendrils and small berries were ligated to adapters, purified again and reverse transcribed. After PCR amplification the sample was subjected to Solexa/Illumina high throughput pyrosequencing. Please see www.illumina.com for details of the sequencing technology.
Project description:Genome-wide expression profiling of Vitis vinifera L. cv. Cabernet Sauvignon (CS) and two rootstocks, Kober 5BB and 41B, exposed to seven days of water deficit or to increasing salinity reaching 120 mM NaCl. Shoot tissue was profiled on the Affymetrix GeneChip Vitis vinifera Genome Array to identify shared and genotype-specific transcriptional responses to the two stresses.
