Grapevine leaf rust (GLR) caused by Phakopsora euvitis results in the reduction of fruit quality and yield loss in grape production. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of genes related with defense responses in the grapevines infected with rust pathogens. In two genotypes of Ampelopsis species inoculated with P. euvitis, the real-time PCR with RNAs was performed to investigate transcripts levels of nine defense-related genes, including pathogenesis-related 1 (PR1), β-1,3glutannase (Glu), chitinase (Chi), superoxide dismutases (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), chalcone synthase (CHS), stilbene synthase 1 (STS1), and resveratrol O-methyltransferase (ROMT). All tested genes were upregulated in YG11030 as well as YG10075, while mostly the expression of genes was higher in YG10075 than that in YG11030. Glu and STS showed significantly high expression in YG10075 than in YG11030. Expression of ROMT was upregulated in YG11030 and downregulated in YG10075 at 24 hours after inoculation. The differential expression pattern of the tested genes seems to be related with the defense responses, considered to be involved in plant-resistant responses against the infection by P. euvitis, and further studies on resistant responses based on the expression of genes would provide valuable information in breeding grapes resistant to diseases.

국내야생종인 새머루로부터 내병성 포도품종 육성에 필요한 육종소재와 유용정보를 획득하고자, 포도 새눈무늬병균과 줄기혹병균에 감염된 새머루에서 식물 방어관련유전자의 발현양상을 분석하였다. Thaumatin (TLP), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), chalcone synthesis (CHS), protein kinase regulator (14-3-3) 및 β-glucanase (Glu) 등의 방어관련유전자, leucine reach-repeat (LRR)와 lipoxygenase (LOX) 등의 신호전달관련유전자, polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein (PGIP)과 같은 세포벽관련 유전자의 발현이 포도 새눈무늬병균 접종에 의해 유도되었다. 포도새눈무늬병균의 포자접종 및 배양여액처리에 의해 WRKYtranscription factor 10 (WRKY), fatty acid elongase (FAE)의 발현이 유도되었으며 proline-rich protein (PRP) 유전자의발현은 억제되었다. 발현이 증가한 15개 유전자 중에서 LRR, LOX, TLP, GST 등은 포도새눈무늬병균 포자현탁액 접종에 의해 발현이 크게 증가하였으나, CHS와 tonoplast intrinsicprotein (TIP)는 배양여액처리에 의해 증가하였다. 포도 줄기혹병균의 접종에 의해 LRR, CLP, LOX, TLP, GPX, 14-3-3,GST, PGIP, FAE, TIP, Glu, WRKY 등은 발현이 증가하였고, CHS와 PRPs는 발현이 억제되었다. 포도 줄기혹병균 접종에 의해 활성산소의 축적 및 분해와 관련된 GPX와 GST는 발현이 크게 증가하였다.
