Novel approaches and promising perspectives for enhancing grapevine editing and regeneration

Abstract

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a challenging plant species to transform and regenerate due to its complex genome and biological characteristics. This limits the development of cisgenic and gene-edited varieties. One hurdle is selecting the best starting tissue for the transformation process, much like isolating suitable tissue for protoplasts. One promising method involves delivering CRISPR/Cas components to protoplasts isolated from embryogenic calli, which are then induced to regenerate. However, this process is inefficient, time-consuming, and only applicable to a few genotypes. To enhance grapevine regeneration efficiency, the expression of developmental and plant growth regulators shows promise in escaping the recalcitrance encountered in traditional tissue culture methods. A strategy based on the Bean yellow dwarf virus (BeYDV) allows for the temporary expression of regulators while minimizing the risk of obtaining transgenic plants. Additionally, the high copy number replication of BeYDV allows for high CRISPR/CAS levels, thereby improving editing. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effects of individual or combined developmental regulators’ expression on grapevine embryogenic tissues. We conducted preliminary assays using BeYDV-derived vectors for luciferase reporter gene expression to optimize delivery efficiencies. Assays were performed on ‘Chardonnay’ calli and protoplasts using both agrobacterium-mediated transformation and protoplast transfection approaches. The present study seeks to enhance the transformation protocols and regeneration processes, with the ultimate aim of realizing the full potential of editing technologies in grapevine.

Mechanisms responsible for different susceptibility of grapevine varieties to flavescence dorée

Flavescence dorée (FD) is the most serious grapevine yellows disease in Europe. It is caused by phytoplasmas which are transmitted from grapevine to grapevine by the leafhopper Scaphoideus titanus.

Influence of viticulture on the temporary evolution of the landscape: the case of the AO Ribera del Duero (Central Spain)

The European Landscape Convention (ELC, 2001) defined the landscape as the “part of a
territory as perceived by the population and resulting from the action of natural and/or human factors and their interrelationships”. Wine landscapes, protected or not under figures such as cultural landscapes or Cultural heritage, are a clear demonstration of this definition, denoting the interrelationships of the natural
environment and the action of the human, which modulates the territory to give the different wine
landscapes. This work was focused on the study of the effect of the human factors linked to the cultivation of the vine on the modification of the landscape.

Intra-vineyard spatial variability explored over multiple seasons by sensor-based techniques in the Valpolicella area

The identification and management of intra-vineyard variability are key to precision viticulture, and sensors have been proven to be highly efficient tools for detecting these variations.

The grapevine single-berry clock, practical tools and outcomes 

The dynamic sequence of physiological events along the three-months of berry development from anthesis to ripe stage has been thoroughly investigated. Most studies were performed on average samples, taking care to crush enough fruits to fairly represent the overall trend of the future harvest. However, phenological stages like 30% caps off (EL25) highlights the asynchronous nature of this population. Consequently, softening, onset of sugar accumulation and coloration were melted by asynchrony in a developmental mumbo jumbo, until their respective timing could be clarified by single berries approaches.
