Ubiquitin-mediated regulation responds rapidly to specific stimuli; this rapidity is particularly important for defense responses pathogen attack. Here, we investigated the role of E3 ubiquitin ligase Erysiphe necator-induced RING finger protein 1 (EIRP1) in response Chinese wild grapevine Vitis pseudoreticulata. The regulatory function EIRP1 was using molecular, genetic and biochemical approaches. encodes a C3HC4-type Really Interesting New Gene (RING) that harbors activity. This activity...

Abstract Cold stress severely impacts the quality and yield of grapevine (Vitis L.). In this study, we extend our previous work to elucidate role regulatory mechanisms Vitis amurensis MYB transcription factor 4a (VaMYB4a) in grapevine's response cold stress. Our results identified VaMYB4a as a key positive regulator We demonstrated that undergoes phosphorylation by V. CBL-interacting protein kinase 18 (VaCIPK18) under stress, process activates transcriptional activity. Using ChIP-seq,...

Abstract Accumulation of stilbene phytoalexins stimulates resistance mechanisms against the grapevine fungus Uncinula necator . However, defensive triggered by synthase ( STS ) genes, remain largely unknown. Here, we report function and molecular mechanism gene VpSTS29/STS2 from Vitis pseudoreticulata in regulation plant responses to powdery mildew. Stilbene synthesis occurred mainly root tips mesophyll cells transgenic grapevines via transport through vascular bundles. Overexpression...

In order to compare and analyze the chloroplast (cp) genomes of tomato germplasms understand their phylogenetic relationships, cp 29 were sequenced analyzed in this study. The results showed highly conserved characteristics structure, number gene intron, inverted repeat regions, sequences among genomes. Moreover, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci with high located at 17 fragments selected as candidate SNP markers for future studies. tree, tomatoes clustered into two major clades,...

This project aimed at breeding new seedless grape cultivars by embryo rescue through three hybridization methods: 1) using cross-breeding between Vitis vinifera and wild Chinese spp; 2) crossing with two cultivars, 3) grapes of different ploidy.Genotype, sampling times, media were confirmed to play important roles in this system.Among the genotypes, productions hybrid plants significantly different, ranging from 23.0% (Ruby Seedless x Black Olympia) only 1.1% (Pink Beichun), except for...

The ubiquitination system plays important roles in the degradation and modification of substrate proteins. In this study, we characterize a putative U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligase gene, VpPUB24 (plant protein 24), from Chinese wild grapevine, Vitis pseudoreticulata accession Baihe-35-1. We show that is induced by number stresses, especially cold treatment. Real-time PCR analysis indicated PUB24 transcripts were increased after stress different grapevine species, although relative expression...

Grapevine is one of the world's most important fruit crops. European cultivated grape species have best quality but show almost no resistance to powdery mildew (PM). PM caused by Uncinula necator a harmful disease that has significant impact on economic value crop. In this study, we examined RING-H2-type ubiquitin ligase gene VpRH2 associated with PM-resistance Chinese wild-growing Vitis pseudoreticulata accession Baihe-35-1. The expression was clearly induced U. inoculation compared its...

GATA transcription factors are type IV zinc-finger proteins that play key roles in plant growth and responses to environmental stimuli. Although these have been studied model plants, the related studies of gene family under abiotic stresses rarely reported grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.).In current study, a total 23 VviGATA genes were identified classified into four groups (I, II, III, IV), based on phylogenetic analysis. The same group exhibited similar exon-intron structures conserved motifs...

Abstract Background Wolfberry is well-known for its high nutritional value and medicinal benefits. Due to the continuous ripening nature of Goji berries fact that they can be commercially harvested within a few weeks, their phytochemical composition may change during harvesting process at different periods. Result The involved molecular mechanisms difference in fruit quality ripe Lycium barbarum L. four periods were investigated by transcriptomic metabolomics analyses first time. According...

The abnormal seedlings, a common physiological anomalies, emerged during embryo rescue severely restricted grape breeding. To enhance the efficiency of seedless breeding by reducing production seedlings in course rescue, we investigated effects genotype, media type, style, pre-chilling on deformity rate rescue. were firstly classified into seven categories based their morphology. Our results indicated that emergence was highly dependent female parent genotype. Polyembryony advantageous to...

Abstract Background RING is one of the largest E3 ubiquitin ligase families and C3H2C3 type subfamily RING, which plays an important role in plant growth development, responses to biotic abiotic stresses. Results A total 143 C3H2C3-type genes ( RCHCs ) were discovered from grapevine genome separated into groups (I-XI) according their phylogenetic analysis, these named positions on chromosomes. Gene replication analysis showed that tandem duplications play a predominant expansion VvRCHCs...
