Interpretive Summary: A set of 1,942 genes uniquely expressed in response to Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) infection were cloned from susceptible and resistant sibling genotypes from a V. rupestris x V. arizonica genetic mapping population. The majority (54 %) of these genes were identified for the first time and the rest included genes known to be involved in defense responses. Gene expression profiling of of 20,020 Vitis transcripts showed a significant variation in responses between the susceptible and resistant genotypes to Xf infection. Out of the 793 genes that showed significant responses to Xf infection, 28.1% (223 genes) were derived from this project.

Technical Abstract: In the present study, a set of 1,942 non-redundant SSH ESTs in response to Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) infection were cloned from susceptible and resistant sibling genotypes from a V. rupestris x V. arizonica genetic mapping population. The majorities (54 %) of these ESTs were novel and the rest included genes known to be involved in defense responses. Transcriptional profiling using a custom high-density (382,900 probes) microarray chip of 20,020 Vitis transcripts showed a significant variation in response between the susceptible and resistant genotypes to Xf infection. Out of the 793 transcripts that showed significant response to Xf infection, 28.1% (223 ESTs) were derived from this project.
