Different cultivars of Vitis vinifera vary in their potential to form embryogenic tissues. The WUSCHEL (WUS)-related homeobox (WOX) genes have been shown play an important role coordinating the gene transcription involved early phases embryogenesis. expression dynamics 12 VvWOX present V. genome and other tissues 'Chardonnay' were analysed. In order understand influence WOX on somatic process, profiles compared two ('Chardonnay' 'Cabernet Sauvignon') that show different aptitudes for all was...
Rootstocks are among the main factors that influence grape development as well fruit and wine composition. In this work, rootstock/scion interactions were studied using transcriptomic metabolic approaches on leaves of 'Gaglioppo' variety, grafted onto 13 different rootstocks growing in same vineyard. The whole leaf transcriptome five selected showed high variability gene expression. particular, significant modulation transcripts linked to primary secondary metabolism was observed....
'Nebbiolo' (Vitis vinifera) is among the most ancient and prestigious wine grape varieties characterised by a wide genetic variability exhibited high number of clones (vegetatively propagated lines selected mother plants). However, limited information available for this cultivar at molecular genomic levels. The whole-genomes three (CVT 71, CVT 185 423) were re-sequenced de novo transcriptome assembly was produced. Important remarks about peculiarities its intra-varietal useful clonal...
Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that regulate the post-transcriptional control of several pathway intermediates, thus playing pivotal roles in plant growth, development and response to biotic abiotic stresses. In recent years, grapevine genome release, small(s)-RNAseq degradome-RNAseq together has allowed discovery characterisation many miRNA species, rendering additional miRNAs difficult uncertain. Taking advantage responsiveness stresses availability virus-free Vitis...
Grapevine rupestris stem pitting-associated virus (GRSPaV) is a widespread infecting Vitis spp. Although it has established compatible viral interaction in vinifera without the development of phenotypic alterations, can occur as distinct variants that show different symptoms diverse species. The changes induced by GRSPaV V. cv 'Bosco', an Italian white grape variety, were investigated combining agronomic, physiological, and molecular approaches, order to provide comprehensive information...
Abstract In this work, 18 microsatellite loci were developed in the European hazelnut ( Corylus avellana L.) using three enriched genomic libraries. They evaluated on a set of 20 accessions species basis number alleles (mean: 7.1), expected heterozygosity 0.67), power discrimination 0.77) and polymorphism information content 0.64). Cross‐species transferability was seven other species. All primer pairs amplified all species, except for CaT‐C505 ferox CaT‐A114 californica .
In this work, 78 hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) cultivars from various germplasm repositories were studied at 16 simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci in order to identify the genotypes and investigate their genetic relations. Polymorphism SSR was evaluated on basis of number alleles (mean: 9.4), expected heterozygosity 0.78), power discrimination 0.91). Several synonyms reported literature confirmed, new cases synonymy identified. The parentage North American 'Butler', 'Ennis', 'Royal', French...
Forty one simple sequence repeats were isolated from two microsatellite enriched libraries of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.). After screening, 17 selected loci characterized and evaluated on a set 31 cultivars clones Algerian Californian germplasm. All primer pairs produced an amplification product the expected size detected high polymorphism among analysed samples. These nuclear repeat (SSR) markers are to be very effective tool for evaluating genetic diversity in Acrosstaxa showed...
SUMMARY The main bottleneck in the application of biotechnological breeding methods to woody species is due vitro regeneration recalcitrance shown by several genotypes. On other side, species, especially grapevine ( Vitis vinifera L.), use most pesticides and expensive inputs agriculture, making development efficient approaches genetic improvement absolutely urgent. Genome editing an extremely promising technique particularly for wine grape genotypes, as it allows modify desired gene a...
Abstract Ozone, a powerful oxidative stressor, has been recently used in wine industry as sanitizing agent to reduce spoilage microflora on grapes. In this study, we evaluated ozone-induced metabolic and molecular responses during postharvest grape dehydration. Ozone increased the contents of total volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which have great impact organoleptic properties grapes wines. Among terpenes, responsible for floral fruity aroma, linalool, geraniol nerol were major aromatic...
Abstract Northwestern Italy is a wine region of the world with highest reputations, where top quality wines remarkable economic value are produced from traditional, long-cultivated varieties. Kinship analyses were performed using 32 microsatellite loci and more than 10 K single-nucleotide polymorphism markers on 227 traditional grapes mostly Italy—including those that have been neglected or threatened. This was done to better understand genetic grapevine origins history this reputable...
In Spain, hazelnut is mainly cultivated in Catalonia, a region the northeast. The province of Tarragona accounts for 88% total Spanish area planted to hazelnut. Almost 80% production local cultivar Negret, with others lesser extent. Minor cultivars are only sporadically present older orchards, farm yards and gardens, have been collected preservation. this work, 16 SSR markers were used fingerprint 18 minor from northeastern Spain. Their microsatellite profiles combined those 15 characterized...
Flavescence dorée (FD) is considered one of the most severe phytoplasma diseases affecting grapevine. The spontaneous, complete, and stable remission symptoms FD (recovery) a phenomenon that may occur in infected grapevines. molecular bases this are still unclear, although some works suggest recovery could be linked to accumulation hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O ). Several genes coding for enzymes involved H metabolism, ascorbate-glutathione cycle, defense responses, biosynthesis hormones were...
