The Promoter Analysis of VvPR1 Gene: A Candidate Gene Identified through Transcriptional Profiling of Methyl Jasmonate Treated Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.)
Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) plays a vital role in plant disease resistance and also induces the expression of disease resistance genes in plants. In this study, a transcriptome analysis was performed on grapevine leaves after 12, 24 and 48 h of MeJA-100 μM treatment. A total of 1242 differentially expre...

Sumario: | Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) plays a vital role in plant disease resistance and also induces the expression of disease resistance genes in plants. In this study, a transcriptome analysis was performed on grapevine leaves after 12, 24 and 48 h of MeJA-100 μM treatment. A total of 1242 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified from the transcriptome data, and the analysis of the DEGs showed that genes related to phytohormone signal transduction, jasmonic acid-mediated defense, Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), and flavonoid biosynthetic pathways were upregulated. As Pathogenesis-related gene 1 (PR1) is an important marker gene in plant defense also upregulated by MeJA treatment in RNA-seq data, the VvPR1 gene was selected for a promoter analysis with β-glucuronidase (GUS) through transient expression in tobacco leaves against abiotic stress. The results showed that the region from −1837 bp to −558 bp of the VvPR1 promoter is the key region in response to hormone and wound stress. In this study, we extended the available knowledge about induced defense by MeJA in a grapevine species that is susceptible to different diseases and identified the molecular mechanisms by which this defense might be mediated. |
