We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated wild accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove separation of grape ecotypes caused by continuous habitat fragmentation. Then, occurred concurrently about 11,000 years ago in Western Asia Caucasus to yield table wine grapevines. The domesticates dispersed into Europe early farmers, introgressed ancient western ecotypes, subsequently diversified along human migration trails muscat unique...
Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are essential secondary metabolites in grapevine, which not only determine the fruit quality but also participate plant resistance metabolism and plays a vital role regulating stress tolerance. The previous research our laboratory showed that contents of proanthocyanidins tended to increase decrease by SA treatment grape leaves. However, mechanism negative regulation proanthocyanidin biosynthesis has rarely been reported. In this study, we proposed use ' Zaoheibao'...
SPL transcription factors affect plant growth and development, including blooming photoperiod control. The investigation began with transcriptome data screening of 28 JrSPL genes in walnut (Junglans regia L.) ‘Wen185’. These were discovered on all chromosomes except 6 15. Phylogenetic study divides the into five groupings. biggest cluster, cluster IV, has 12 genes. expression different tissues was investigated by qRT-PCR. JrSPL02 gene greater female male flower than other Subcellular...
The phenomenon of multi-carpel and multi-ovule exists in the grapevine cultivar ‘Xiangfei’, but mechanism ovule formation is seldom reported. In this study, we observed process by using ‘Xiangfei’ grapes. role VvAG2 (VvAGAMOUS) gene was identified, explored relationship between VvAG2, VvSEP3(VvMADS4) VvAGL11(VvMADS5) proteins. results showed that primordium appeared when inflorescence length grapes were 4–5 cm long; relative expression levels VvAGL11 VvSEP3 genes higher during formation,...
Abstract Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) are progressively affecting vineyard longevity and productivity worldwide. To be able to understand combat these diseases, we need a different concept of the signals exchanged between grapevine fungi than well-studied pathogen-associated molecular pattern effector concepts. We screened extracts from associated with GTDs for their association basal defence responses in suspension cells grapevine. By activity-guided fractionation two selected extracts,...
Abstract Specific populations of plant microtubules cooperate with the plasma membrane to sense and process abiotic stress signals, such as cold stress. The current study derived from question, what extent this perception system is active in biotic signalling. experimental consisted grapevine cell lines, where or actin filaments are visualised by GFP, that their response became visible vivo. We used bacterial elicitors harpin (inducing cell-death related defence), flg22 basal immunity)...
Abstract Multicarpellate fruits are larger and produce more seeds than mono- or bicarpellate fruits, enhancing the reproductive capacity of plant. To identify phenotypic molecular differences among florets different carpel types, we studied formation fusion in grapevine (Vitis vinifera) cultivar ‘Xiangfei’, which produces a high proportion multicarpellate fruit. We also determined function VvSUPERMAN-like (VvSUP-like) explored its relationship with VvWUS (VvWUSCHEL) VvAG1 (VvAGAMOUS), is...
Abstract Grapevine trunk diseases (GTDs) affect grape production and reduce vineyard longevity worldwide. Since the causative fungi also occur in asymptomatic trunks, we address disease outbreak terms of altered chemical communication between host endophyte. Here, identified four chemically similar secondary metabolites secreted by GTD-associated fungus Eutypa lata to analyse their modes action a grapevine cell culture Vitis rupestris, where microtubules were tagged GFP. Treatment with...
<title>Abstract</title> Mango, a typical respiratory climacteric fruit, is susceptible to short shelf life and quality deterioration during post-harvest ripening. Though low temperature can prolong the storage time significantly, its side effects on fruit remains be elucidated. Through combination of transcriptome metabolome analyses, this study aimed elucidate low-temperature biosynthesis volatile organic compounds (VOCs), flavonoids, sucrose, degradation acids. Carbohydrate-related...
Alhagi camelorum, a desert shrub known for its impressive drought tolerance, exhibits notable resilience under arid conditions. However, the underlying mechanisms driving resistance remain largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate these by exposing A. camelorum osmotic stress using varying polyethylene glycol (PEG) concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%) in controlled laboratory setting. Growth analysis revealed significant inhibition and phenotypic changes with increasing PEG levels....
Exogenous gibberellin treatment can promote early growth of grape fruit, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we show that VvDELLA2 directly regulates activity VvCEB1 transcription factor, a key regulator in control cell expansion fruit. Our results binds to promoters expansion-related genes fruit and acts as transcriptional activator, while blocks function by binding its activating structural domain. The exogenous relieved this inhibition promoting...
For some horticultural plants, auxins can not only induce normal fruit setting but also form fake seeds in the induced fruits. This phenomenon is relatively rare, and, so far, underlying mechanism remains unclear. In this study, “Fenghou” (Vitis vinifera × V. labrusca) grapes were artificially emasculated before flowering and then sprayed with 4-CPA (4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) to analyze its effect on seed formation. The results show that grapes. Although more detected fruits of...
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) belongs to the most elaborate and extensive systems of plant-based healing. The herb Northern Ban Lan (Isatis tinctoria) is famous for its antiviral anti-inflammatory activity. Although numerous components isolated from I. tinctoria have been characterized so far, their modes action remained unclear. Here, we show that extracts exert anti-microtubular Using time-lapse microscopy in living tobacco BY-2 (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv Bright Yellow 2) cells...
The root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) causes huge economic losses in the agricultural industry throughout world. Control methods against these polyphagous plant endoparasites are sparse, preferred one being deployment of cultivars or rootstocks bearing resistance genes Meloidogyne species. Our previous study has cloned gene, PsoRPM3, from Xinjiang wild myrobalan plum (Prunus sogdiana). However, function PsoRPM3 remains elusive. In present study, we have investigated regulatory...
