Abstract

NBS-LRR comprises a large class of disease resistance (R) proteins that play a widespread role in plant protection against pathogens. In grapevine, powdery mildew cause significant losses in its productivity and efforts are being directed towards finding of resistance loci or genes imparting resistance/tolerance against such fungal diseases. In the present study, we performed genome-wide analysis of NBS-LRR genes during PM infection in grapevine. We identified 18, 23, 12, 16, 10, 10, 9, 20 and 14 differentially expressed NBS-LRR genes in response to PM infection in seven partially PM-resistant (DVIT3351.27, Husseine, Karadzhandal, Khalchili, Late vavilov, O34–16, Sochal) and 2 PM-susceptible (Carignan and Thompson seedless) V. vinifera accessions. Further, the identified sequences were characterized based on chromosomal locations, physicochemical properties, gene structure and motif analysis, and functional annotation by Gene Ontology (GO) mapping. The NBS-LRR genes responsive to powdery mildew could potentially be exploited to improve resistance in grapes.
