This early vaginal bleeding happens in about 25% of pregnant women. The medications including progesterone, uterine muscle relaxant or human chorionic gonadotropin have essential effects in developing pregnancy, but the clinical data are insufficient to prescribe them. In recent decades, medicinal herbs can help us to present new treatments. Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) can protect the fetus from the perspective of Persian medicine. So, we hypothesize about the salutary effects of grape in miscarriage prevention. We found five standard expected mechanisms of grape to prevent threatened abortion: immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-contraction, hormonal and anti-stress activities. Grape reduces nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, expression of nuclear factor κB and other pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL (Interleukin)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α. It also elevates anti-inflammatory mediators and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. Grape polyphenols have a crucial role in fetus protection with high antioxidant power and other functions such as prevention of stress-triggered abortion with proanthocyanidins, or hormonal effects and inhibition of uterine contractions with resveratrol. So according to these studies, grape probably has effects on the immune and endocrine factors involved in threatened miscarriage.展开更多

Sequence analysis showed that the gene had 854 bp long and its coding sequence contained 720 bp, encoding a protein with 239 amino acids and an AP2 structural domain. The molecular mass of CBF3 was predicted to be 25.9 kDa and its theoretical isoelectric point was 7.02 and aliphatic index was 59.29. The average hydropathicity of the protein was -0.551. The tertiary structures of CBF3 were also analyzed. The prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-CBF3 containing CBF3 gene was constructed and CBF3 fusion protein （52 kDa） was produced in Escherichia coli after induction with 1 mmol L-1 IPTG. Further studies are needed to evaluate its potential application for improving plant resistance to cold and other stress condition such as drought and salinity.展开更多

In order to get more informations on defense related EST sequences and help breeding program, we constructed and characterized a suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library with artificially inoculated leaves and control Chinese wild Vitis pseudoreticulata clone Baihe-35-1, which is highly resistant to powdery mildew. In the library, the length of 58 EST fragments known as putative functions varied from 130 to 800 bp, and 60% of the ESTs exhibited high similarity to known sequences in database of GenBank with BLASTX analysis. These genes were involved in stress/defense response, detoxification, signal transduction, disease defense, and etc., and 14 ESTs remained unknown or hypothetical proteins, which may be new genes. The experiment provided an important basis for studying the disease-resistance mechanism and obtaining the genes for the aim of improving grapevine powdery mildew resistance.展开更多

文摘Downy mildew of grapevine(Vitis vinifera L.),caused by the oomycete pathogen Plasmopara viticola,is one of the most serious concerns for grape production worldwide.It has been widely reported that the pathogenesis-related 4(PR4)protein plays important roles in plant resistance to diseases.However,little is known about the role of PR4 in the defense of grapevine against P.viticola.In this study,we engineered loss-of-function mutations in the VvPR4b gene from the cultivar“Thompson Seedless”using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and evaluated the consequences for downy mildew resistance.Sequencing results showed that deletions were the main type of mutation introduced and that no off-target events occurred.Infection assays using leaf discs showed that,compared to wild-type plants,the VvPR4b knockout lines had increased susceptibility to P.viticola.This was accompanied by reduced accumulation of reactive oxygen species around stomata.Measurement of the relative genomic abundance of P.viticola in VvPR4b knockout lines also demonstrated that the mutants had increased susceptibility to the pathogen.Our results confirm that VvPR4b plays an active role in the defense of grapevine against downy mildew.

文摘Spine grape(Vitis davidii Foex.)is an important wild grape species native to China.Fifteen red spine grape clones and three red Vitis vinifera grape varieties were used to evaluate the differences in the anthocyanin profiles and color properties of wines made from V.davidii and V.vinifera grapes.Among spine wines,‘Junzi#2’wine had the highest total phenolic and total anthocyanin,‘Xiangzhenzhu’wine had the highest total flavonoids,and‘Junzi#1’wine had the highest total tannin.The anthocyanin compositions of all of the spine wines were dominated by Mv-3,5-diglucoside.The total individual anthocyanin contents in spine wines,except‘Gaoshan#5’,‘Junzi#5055’,‘Junzi#5061’,and‘Junzi#5044’,were signifi cantly higher than in V.vinifera wines.Most of the spine wines had a stronger red intensity and a brighter chroma with a bluer hue than V.vinifera wines.Correlation analysis revealed that the color properties were closely related to the anthocyanin composition.These results suggest that wines made from spine grapes may be useful for the wine industry for their color properties and high individual anthocyanin contents.

文摘Vitis amurensis is a wild Vitis plant that can withstand extreme cold temperatures.However,the accumulation of metabolites during cold acclimation(CA)in V.amurensis remains largely unknown.In this study,plantlets of V.amurensis and V.vinifera cv.Muscat of Hamburg were treated at 4℃ for 24 and 72 h,and changes of metabolites in leaves were detected by gas chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry.Most of the identified metabolites,including carbohydrates,amino acids,and organic acids,accumulated in the two types of grape after CA.Galactinol,raffinose,fructose,mannose,glycine,and ascorbate were continuously induced by cold in V.amurensis,but not in Muscat of Hamburg.Twelve metabolites,including isoleucine,valine,proline,2-oxoglutarate,and putrescine,increased in V.amurensis during CA.More galactinol,ascorbate,2-oxoglutarate,and putrescine,accumulated in V.amurensis,but not in Muscat of Hamburg,during CA,which may be responsible for the excellent cold tolerance in V.amurensis.The expression levels of the genes encodingβ-amylase(BAMY),galactinol synthase(GolS),and raffinose synthase(RafS)were evaluated by quantitative reverse transcription-PCR.The expression BAMY(VIT_02s0012 g00170)and RafS(VIT_05s0077 g00840)were primarily responsible for the accumulation of maltose and raffinose,respectively.The accumulation of galactinol was attributed to different members of GolS in the two grapes.In conclusion,these results show the inherent differences in metabolites between V.amurensis and V.vinifera under CA.

文摘Ripe rot is a serious grapevine disease in Vitis L.and Muscadinia(Planch.)Small.However,resistance to this disease has been reported in some oriental Vitis species.To identify resistance-related Quantitative Trait Loci(QTLs)from the Chinese grape species V.amurensis,an F1 population of V.vinifera‘Cabernet Sauvignon’×V.amurensis‘Shuang Hong’was used to map the ripe rot resistance loci expected in‘Shuang Hong’grape.A total of 7598 single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs)between the parents were identified in our previous study,and 934 SNPs were selected for genetic map construction.These SNPs are distributed across the 19 chromosomes covering a total of 1665.31 cM in length,with an average of 1.81 cM between markers.Ripe rot resistance phenotypes among the hybrids were evaluated in vitro using excised leaves for three consecutive years from 2016 to 2018;a continuous variation was found among the F1 hybrids,and the Pearson correlation coefficients of the phenotypes scored in all three years were significant at the 0.01 level.Notably,the first QTL reported for resistance to grape ripe rot disease,named Cgr1,was identified on chromosome 14 of‘Shuang Hong’grapevine.Cgr1 could explain up to 19.90%of the phenotypic variance.In addition,a SNP named‘np19345’was identified as a molecular marker closely linked to the peak of Cgr1 and has the potential to be developed as a marker for the Cgr1 resistance haplotype.
文摘Threatened abortion is a common problem in early pregnancy. This early vaginal bleeding happens in about 25% of pregnant women. The medications including progesterone, uterine muscle relaxant or human chorionic gonadotropin have essential effects in developing pregnancy, but the clinical data are insufficient to prescribe them. In recent decades, medicinal herbs can help us to present new treatments. Grape (Vitis vinifera L.) can protect the fetus from the perspective of Persian medicine. So, we hypothesize about the salutary effects of grape in miscarriage prevention. We found five standard expected mechanisms of grape to prevent threatened abortion: immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-contraction, hormonal and anti-stress activities. Grape reduces nitric oxide, prostaglandin E2, expression of nuclear factor κB and other pro-inflammatory cytokines like IL (Interleukin)-1β, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α. It also elevates anti-inflammatory mediators and expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ. Grape polyphenols have a crucial role in fetus protection with high antioxidant power and other functions such as prevention of stress-triggered abortion with proanthocyanidins, or hormonal effects and inhibition of uterine contractions with resveratrol. So according to these studies, grape probably has effects on the immune and endocrine factors involved in threatened miscarriage.

文摘The full length cDNA sequence of CBF3 （CRT/DRE-binding factor） was cloned from Vitis amurensis by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR） using the primers designed based on CBF genes available in GenBank. Sequence analysis showed that the gene had 854 bp long and its coding sequence contained 720 bp, encoding a protein with 239 amino acids and an AP2 structural domain. The molecular mass of CBF3 was predicted to be 25.9 kDa and its theoretical isoelectric point was 7.02 and aliphatic index was 59.29. The average hydropathicity of the protein was -0.551. The tertiary structures of CBF3 were also analyzed. The prokaryotic expression vector pGEX-4T-CBF3 containing CBF3 gene was constructed and CBF3 fusion protein （52 kDa） was produced in Escherichia coli after induction with 1 mmol L-1 IPTG. Further studies are needed to evaluate its potential application for improving plant resistance to cold and other stress condition such as drought and salinity.

文摘Non-embryogenic calli （NEC） was inevitably and heavily produced when grape embryogenic calli （EC） was induced from explants or during the subculture of EC.A stable and highly efficient NEC transformation platform is required to further sort out and verify key genes which determine/switch the identity of NEC and EC.In this research,a vector pA5 containing a chitinase signal sequence fused to gfp （green fluorescent protein） and an HDEL motive was used to target and immobilize into Agrobacterium strain EHA105 to establish a transformation platform for Vitis vinifera L.cv.Chardonnay NEC.It was determined that NEC 10 d after subculture was the best target tissue;30 min for inoculation followed by 3 d co-cultivation with the addition of 200 μmol L-1 acetosyringone （AS） was optimized as protocol.The use of bacterial densities as 1.0 at OD600 did not result in serious tissue hypersensitive reaction and it had higher efficiency.Kanamycin at 200 mg L-1 was picked for positive expression selection.The stable transformation of NEC was proved by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction techniques （RT-PCR） and fluorescent microscopy after three sub-cultures of the selected cell line.Highly efficient genetic transformation protocol of grape NEC was achieved and some of the optimized parameters were different from that reported for EC.This transformation platform could facilitate the verification of candidate somatic embryogenesis （SE） decisive genes,and the successfully transformed NEC with certain genes can also be used as bioreactors for the production of functional products,as NEC not only proliferates fast,but also keeps in a rather stable condition.

文摘Grape white rot is a destructive fungal disease occurring worldwide.Recently,Coniella vitis was identified as the predominant pathogen causing this disease in China.As the periderms of grape shoots are severely degraded by C.vitis,it was speculated that cell wall-degrading enzymes(CWDEs)might play a key role in the pathogenesis of this disease.Therefore,this study aimed to examine the hydrolytic activity of the CWDEs of C.vitis.The results showed that xylanase(Xy)and xyloglucanase(XEG)had high levels of hydrolytic activity both in vitro and in vivo.Furthermore,a high-virulence fungal strain exhibited higher levels of Xy and XEG activities compared with a low-virulence strain.The genome of the fungus was found to harbor two XEG-coding genes CvGH74A and CvGH74B,which belonged to the glycoside hydrolase(GH)74 family.The expression level of CvGH74A was found to be high during pathogen infection.CvGH74A gene deletion mutants were generated using the split-marker method.The deletion of CvGH74A decreased both the hydrolytic activities of XEG and Xy and also the ability of the fungus to infect the grape leaves.No differences in the hyphal growth,morphology of colonies,or conidiation were found between theΔCvGH74A mutant strains and the wild-type strain.Together,these results suggested that CvGH74A acted as an important virulence factor,and its enzymatic activity might regulate the virulence of the pathogen.This study was novel in reporting that GH74 XEG acted as a virulence factor in C.vitis.

文摘Uncinula necator is a worldwide serious fungus disease causing annual heavy lost on grapevine production. In order to get more informations on defense related EST sequences and help breeding program, we constructed and characterized a suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library with artificially inoculated leaves and control Chinese wild Vitis pseudoreticulata clone Baihe-35-1, which is highly resistant to powdery mildew. In the library, the length of 58 EST fragments known as putative functions varied from 130 to 800 bp, and 60% of the ESTs exhibited high similarity to known sequences in database of GenBank with BLASTX analysis. These genes were involved in stress/defense response, detoxification, signal transduction, disease defense, and etc., and 14 ESTs remained unknown or hypothetical proteins, which may be new genes. The experiment provided an important basis for studying the disease-resistance mechanism and obtaining the genes for the aim of improving grapevine powdery mildew resistance.

文摘Grape white rot,a devastating disease of grapevines caused by Coniella diplodiella(Speg.)Sacc.,leads to significant yield losses in grape.Breeding grape cultivars resistant to white rot is essential to reduce the regular use of chemical treatments.In recent years,Chinese grape species have gained more attention for grape breeding due to their high tolerance to various biotic and abiotic factors along with changing climatic conditions.In this study,we employed whole-genome resequencing(WGR)to genotype the parents of‘Manicure Finger’(Vitis vinifera,female)and‘0940’(Vitis davidii,male),along with 101 F1 mapping population individuals,thereby constructing a linkage genetic map.The linkage map contained 9337 single-nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)markers with an average marker distance of 0.3 cM.After 3 years of phenotypic evaluation of the progeny for white rot resistance,we confirmed one stable quantitative trait locus(QTL)for white rot resistance on chromosome 3,explaining up to 17.9%of the phenotypic variation.For this locus,we used RNA-seq to detect candidate gene expression and identified PR1 as a candidate gene involved in white rot resistance.Finally,we demonstrated that recombinant PR1 protein could inhibit the growth of C.diplodiella and that overexpression of PR1 in susceptible V.vinifera increased grape resistance to the pathogen.
