Physiological Changes in Green Stems of <i>Vitis vinifera</i> L. cv. Chardonnay in Response to Esca Proper and Apoplexy Revealed by Proteomic and Transcriptomic Analyses

Among grapevine trunk diseases, esca proper and apoplexy commonly represent a threat for viticulture worldwide. To retrieve further information about the mechanisms activated in apoplectic and esca proper-affected plants, a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) based analysis was conducted on green stems from 26-year-old standing vines. Symptomatic and asymptomatic stems from both apoplectic (A) and esca proper-affected (E) plants compared to control (without visual symptom since 10 years) stems were studied. Thirty-three differentially expressed proteins were identified by nanoLC–MS/MS and included into three groups conceptually defined as proteins involved in (i) metabolism and energy, (ii) stress tolerance, and (iii) defense response. For nine of them, expression of the relative mRNA’s was also monitored by qRT-PCR. Proteome variations were specifically related to apoplexy and esca proper but were more similar in asymptomatic stems than in the symptomatic ones. Remarkable quantitative differences were noted for several proteins in symptomatic stems according to the expressed form, A and E. Results further indicate that similar responses are likely activated in asymptomatic stems but a various quantitative expression is triggered upon onset of apoplexy or esca proper symptoms while both kind of plants are infected by the same pathogenic fungi

¹³C NMR and LC-MS Profiling of Stilbenes from Elicited Grapevine Hairy Root Cultures

Resveratrol and related oligostilbenes are defense molecules produced by grapevine in response to stresses including various elicitors or signal molecules. Together with their prominent role <i>in planta,</i> these compounds have been the center of much attention in recent decades due to their pharmacological properties. The cost-effective production of resveratrol derivatives such as viniferins or more structurally complex stilbene oligomers remains a challenging task. In this study, the chemical diversity of stilbenes produced by <i>Vitis vinifera</i> Pinot Noir hairy roots was investigated after elicitation for 4 days with a mixture of methyl jasmonate (100 μM) and cyclodextrins (50 mM). Two crude extracts obtained from the culture medium and from the hairy roots were fractionated by centrifugal partition chromatography. The fractions were chemically investigated by two complementary identification approaches involving a ¹³C NMR-based dereplication method and liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS). In total, groups of 21 and 18 molecules, including flavonoids and stilbenes, were detected in the culture medium and root extracts, respectively. These included resveratrol monomers, dimers, trimers, and a tetramer, thus highlighting the ability of elicited hairy root culture systems to synthesize a wide diversity of secondary metabolites of pharmaceutical significance. The main compounds were unambiguously identified as <i>trans</i>-resveratrol, ε-viniferin, <i>trans</i>-piceatannol, pallidol, scirpusin A, eriodictyol, naringenin, vitisin B, and maackin
