Papain-like cysteine proteases (PLCP) play diverse roles in plant biology. In our previous
studies, a VaCP17 gene from the cold-tolerant Vitis amurensis accession 'Shuangyou'was …

Cultivated grapes, one of the most important fruit crops in the world, are sensitive to low
temperature. Since Chinese wild grape Vitis amurensis is highly tolerant to cold, it is …

Cysteine proteinases (thiol) carry out diverse and critical functions in plants through their
ability to hydrolyze peptide bonds in target proteins. Here, we cloned a cysteine proteinase …

The majority of commercial grape cultivars originate from the European grape. While these
cultivars have excellent organoleptic qualities, they suffer from a relatively poor tolerance to …

Cold stress is one of the major limiting factors for grapevine growth and yield. Sucrose
synthetase (SS) is a glycosyl transferase enzyme involved in plant sugar metabolism, which …

The ubiquitination system plays important roles in the degradation and modification of
substrate proteins. In this study, we characterize a putative U-box type E3 ubiquitin ligase …

Key message Heterologous expression of VaMYB44 gene in Arabidopsis and V. vinifera
cv.'Thompson Seedless' increases cold sensitivity, which is mediated by the interaction of …

Stress associated protein (SAP) gene family can respond to a variety of biotic and abiotic
stresses, and plays an important role in the process of improving the resistance of plants. In …

Temperature is considered one of the critical factors directly influencing grapevine during
the three primary growth and development stages: sprout, flowering, and fruit-coloring …

Abstract In plants, the Early Responsive to Dehydration (ERD) genes are rapidly activated in
response to drought and other abiotic stresses. Here, we characterize the VaERD15 gene …
