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.

Crown procyanidin: a new procyanidin sub-family with unusual cyclic skeleton in wine

Condensed tannins (also called proanthocyanidins) are a widely distributed throughout in plants kingdom and are one of the most important classes of secondary metabolites, in addition, they are part of the human diet. In wine, they are extracted during the winemaking process from grape skins and seeds. These compounds play an important role in red wine organoleptic characteristics such as color, bitterness and astringency. Condensed tannins in red wine are oligomers and polymers of flavan-3-ols unit such as catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin and epicatechin-3-O-gallate. The monomeric units can be linked among them with direct interflavanoid linkage or mediated by aldehydes.

SHIRAZ FLAVONOID EXTRACTABILITY IMPACTED BY HIGH AND EXTREME HIGH TEMPERATURES

Climate change is leading to an increase in average temperature and in the severity and occurrence of heatwaves, and is already disrupting grapevine phenology. In Australia, with the evolution of the weather of grape growing regions that are already warm and hot, berry composition including flavonoids, for which biosynthesis depends on bunch microclimate, are expected to be impacted [1]. These compounds, such as anthocyanins and tannins, contribute substantially to grape and wine quality. The goal of this research was to determine how flavonoid extraction is impacted when bunches are exposed to high (>35 °C) and extreme high (>45 °C) temperatures during berry development and maturity.
