Dissecting the Variations of Transcriptome in Grape Berries Grown under Double Cropping System
A double cropping system has been commercially adopted in subtropical regions in southern China, where there is abundant sunshine and heat resources. In this viticulture system, the first growing season normally starts as a summer cropping cycle; then, the vine is pruned and forced by hydrogen cyanamide, resulting in a second crop in January of the next year. Due to climate differences between the two growing seasons,the transcriptome varies greatly between summer- and winter- grape berries. In this study, we conducted RNA-seq for two table grape varieties (Vitis vinifera cv. Victoria and V. vinifera cv. Muscat Superior) at three developmental stages (pre-veraison, post-veraison and full maturity).The transcriptome between summer- and winter- grape berries were compared. Overall design: Differentially expressed genes between summer- and winter- grape berries were identified by DESeq2. And the transcriptome between summer- and winter- grape berries were compared.
