Heat-stress responses regulated via a MYB24-MYC2 complex

Abstract

Throughout the growing season, grapevine frequently encounters environmental challenges associated with heat and light radiation stress, especially during the ripening stage, thereby constraining the yield and quality of berries. MYB24 has been previously proposed to control light responses during late fruit ripening stages, and it has been found to require the co-factor MYC2. We have generated transcriptomic data from grapevine leaves transiently co-transformed with MYB24 and MYC2. Differential expression analysis revealed 179 up-regulated genes (URGs). Considering tissue specificity, where MYB24 is specifically and highly expressed in flowers and late-ripening berries, the expression of these URGs was explored using a previously published Berry Development Atlas gathering berry development data of cv. ‘Pinot Noir’ and ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ in different vintages. Half of URGs highly co-express with MYB24, and MapMan analysis discloses many significantly enriched heat-related terms. Specifically, 18 co-expressed URGs were reported as heat-induced genes. Due to the DNA-binding capacity of MYB24 and MYC2, we investigated their regulatory potential by taking advantage of DAP-seq data. More than 40 of these co-expressed URGs, named as MYB24/MYC2 high confidence targets (HCTs), are bound by both TFs or one of them in their 5kb upstream region. In particular, some HCTs have been previously and functionally validated as heat regulators or heat-induced genes. Furthermore, MYB24, MYC2, and a high proportion of their HCTs were significantly induced in reanalyzed heat-treatment transcriptomic studies. To sum up, our data suggests that the MYB24-MYC2 complex plays a key role in the hierarchical regulation of heat responses.

Protection of genetic diversity: maintenance and developements of a grapevine genebank in Hungary

Among the items preserved in gene banks, the old standard and autochthonous varieties represent an increasing value, since these varieties may have properties to make their cultivation more effective under changing climatic conditions. The increasingly extreme weather is a huge challenge for the viticulture. Collectional varieties can also play important role in protection against pests and pathogens. A genebank ensures not only the preservation of rare varieties, but also gives the opportunity for more knowledge and research of these varieties.

Key genes in rotundone biosynthesis are affected by temperature, light, water supply, and nitrogen uptake

Rotundone accumulation and biosynthesis is a complicated process. Previous research highlighted that these phenomenons were affected under ecophysiological conditions by viticultural practices (e.g. defoliation or irrigation). Individually, these practices often impact several abiotic factors that are difficult to separate such as temperature, water or nitrogen status, or radiation. Such dissociation can be achieved under controlled environmental conditions using potted vines.

Characteristics of ecological production of grape and wine in Prizren’s vineyard territory in Yugoslavia

Prizren’s vineyard territory-y assigned for ecological production of grapes and wine includes 1. 200 hectares of vineyard located in five separate localities which belongs to the P KB “Kosovo vina”, Mala Krusa in Prizren. Division of vineyard territory in zones was carried out in 1974. Pertaining to the vineyards, the climate and soil conditions have been studied and determined as well as topographie establishing of vineyard boundaries.
