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.
Project description:Plants regenerated from tissue culture frequently show somaclonal variation. In this study we compared the transcriptomic and epigenetic state of embryogenic callus of grapevine with leaves from mature grapevine plants. In particular, we focussed on the expression of transposable elements and changes in siRNA abundance and genome-wide methylation in these tissues.
