| Abstract | Grapevines are affected worldwide by viruses that compromise fruit yield and quality. Grapevine fanleaf virus (GFLV) causes fanleaf degeneration disease, a major threat to grapevine production. Transgenic approaches exploiting the RNA silencing machinery have proven suitable for engineering viral resistance in several crop species. However, the artificial microRNA (amiRNA)-based strategy has not yet been reported in grapevine. We developed two amiRNA precursors (pre-amiRNAs) targeting the coat protein (CP) gene of GFLV and characterised their functionality in grapevine somatic embryos. To create these pre-amiRNAs, natural pre-miR319a of Arabidopsis thaliana was modified by overlapping PCR in order to replace miR319a with two amiRNAs targeting different regions of the CP gene: amiR$^{CP}$-1 or amiR$^{CP}$-2. Transient expression of these two pre-amiRNA constructs was tested in grapevine somatic embryos after co-cultivation with Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Expression of amiR$^{CP}$-1 and amiR$^{CP}$-2 was detected in plant tissues by an endpoint stem-loop RT-PCR as early as 1 day after a 48-h co-cultivation, indicating active processing of pre-amiRNAs by the plant machinery. In parallel, GUS-sensor constructs (G$^{CP}$-1 and G$^{CP}$-2) were obtained by fusing the target sequence of amiR$^{CP}$-1 or amiR$^{CP}$-2 to the 3′ terminus of the GUS gene. Co-transformation assays with GUS-sensors and the pre-amiRNA constructs provided evidence for in vivo recognition and cleavage of the 21-nt target sequence of GUS-sensors by the corresponding amiRNA. This is the first report of amiRNA ectopic expression in grapevine. The constructs we developed could be useful for engineering GFLV-resistant grapes in the future. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
