Haplotype-Resolved genome assembly of the Microvine

Abstract

Developing a tractable genetic engineering and gene editing system is an essential tool for grapevine. We initiated a plant transformation and biotechnology program at Oregon State University using the grape microvine system (V. vinifera) in 2018 to interrogate gene-to-trait relationships using traditional genetic engineering and gene editing. The microvine model is also used for nanomaterial-assisted RNP, DNA, and RNA delivery. Most reference genomes and annotations for grapevine are collapsed assemblies of homologous chromosomes and do not represent the specific microvine cultivar ‘043023V004’ under study at our institution. We used a trio-binning method combining PacBio HiFi and parental Illumina reads to develop a high-quality, haplotype-resolved microvine genome. This genome was refined using chromosome scaffolding with high-throughput chromosome conformation capture (Hi-C). To evaluate genome quality, we compared this genome with our own highly curated microvine genome, which was produced using a combination of Oxford Nanopore and PacBio Sequel I sequencing. While the new genome retains considerable large-scale structural synteny with existing grape genomes, it also revealed significant differences between haplotypes. The phasing approach has elucidated the unique allelic contributions of essential gene families like GRAS, which contribute to the microvine dwarfing, or MYB, involved in regulating pigment accumulation in berries. The roles of additional gene variants, alongside associated alternative-splicing events, provide insights into the dynamic regulation of these key gene families across haplotypes. This comprehensive genomic resource will accelerate the functional characterization of complex molecular gene interactions, enhance molecular marker development, and improve the precision of genome editing tools in grapevine research.

First step in the preparation of a soil map of the Protected Designation of Origin Valdepeñas (Central, Spain)

This work is a first step to make a map of vineyard soils. The characterization of the soils of the Protected Designation of Origin (D.P.O.) Valdepeñas will allow to group the studied profiles according to their physico-chemical characteristics and the concentrations of most relevant chemical elements. 90 soil profiles were analysed throughout the territory and the soils were sampled and described according to FAO (2006) and classified according to and Soil Taxonomy (2014). All samples were air dried, sieved and some physico-chemical parameters were determined following standard protocols. Also, major and trace elements were analysed by X-ray fluorescence. The statistically study was made using the SPSS program. Trend maps were made using the ArcGIS program. The studied soils have the following average properties: pH, 8.3; electrical conductivity, 0,20 dS/m (low); clay, 18.8% (medium) and CaCO3, 17.1% (high). In the study for the major elements. The major elements of these soils are Si, followed by Ca and Al, with an average content of 203.7 g/kg, 105.5 g/kg and 74.0 g/kg respectively. On the other hand, 27 trace elements have been studied. Of all of them, it can be highlighted the average values of Ba (361.8 mg/kg), Sr (129.3 mg/kg), Rb (83.4 mg/kg), V (74.2 mg/kg) and Ce (70.6 mg/kg). Ba, V and Ce values are higher and the values of Sr and Rb are lower to those found in the literature. The discriminant analysis shows a percentage of grouping of 91%. The content of chemical elements together with the physico-chemical characteristics allows grouping the soils in 4 group according to their order in the classification to Soil Taxonomy; due to the importance of the Calcisols in Castilla-La Mancha, it has been decided to establish them as their own group even if they do not appear in Soil Taxonomy classification.
