RESUMEN
Grape white rot is a devastating fungal disease caused by Coniella diplodiella. The pathogen delivers effectors into the host cell that target crucial immune components to facilitate its infection. Here, we examined a secreted effector of C. diplodiella, known as CdE1, which has been found to inhibit Bax-triggered cell death in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. The expression of CdE1 was induced at 12-48 h after inoculation with C. diplodiella, and the transient overexpression of CdE1 led to increased susceptibility of grapevine to the fungus. Subsequent experiments revealed an interaction between CdE1 and Vitis davidii cysteine-rich receptor-like kinase 10 (VdCRK10) and suppression of VdCRK10-mediated immunity against C. diplodiella, partially by decreasing the accumulation of VdCRK10 protein. Furthermore, our investigation revealed that CRK10 expression was significantly higher and was up-regulated in the resistant wild grapevine V. davidii during C. diplodiella infection. The activity of the VdCRK10 promoter is induced by C. diplodiella and is higher than that of Vitis vitifera VvCRK10, indicating the involvement of transcriptional regulation in CRK10 gene expression. Taken together, our results highlight the potential of VdCRK10 as a resistant gene for enhancing white rot resistance in grapevine.

Grape white rot, a devastating disease of grapevines caused by Coniella diplodiella (Speg.) Sacc., leads to significant yield losses in grape. Breeding grape cultivars resistant to white rot is essential to reduce the regular use of chemical treatments. In recent years, Chinese grape species have gained more attention for grape breeding due to their high tolerance to various biotic and abiotic factors along with changing climatic conditions. In this study, we employed whole-genome resequencing (WGR) to genotype the parents of 'Manicure Finger' (Vitis vinifera, female) and '0940' (Vitis davidii, male), along with 101 F1 mapping population individuals, thereby constructing a linkage genetic map. The linkage map contained 9337 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers with an average marker distance of 0.3 cM. After 3 years of phenotypic evaluation of the progeny for white rot resistance, we confirmed one stable quantitative trait locus (QTL) for white rot resistance on chromosome 3, explaining up to 17.9% of the phenotypic variation. For this locus, we used RNA-seq to detect candidate gene expression and identified PR1 as a candidate gene involved in white rot resistance. Finally, we demonstrated that recombinant PR1 protein could inhibit the growth of C. diplodiella and that overexpression of PR1 in susceptible V. vinifera increased grape resistance to the pathogen.
