Molecular cloning and characterisation of a cDNA encoding a putative alkaline alpha-galactosidase from grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) that is differentially expressed under osmotic stress
The expression of a gene originally identified by means of a salt-stress-associated partial cDNA showing a genotype-dependent response, was studied upon exposure to salt and drought stress and during seed deve...

Short-term response of wild grapevines (Vitis vinifera L. ssp. sylvestris) to NaCl salinity exposure: changes of some physiological and molecular characteristics
The physiological and molecular response to salt stress was studied in two wild grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. ssp. sylvestris or Vitis sylvestris) accessions “Khédhayria” and “Houamdia”, previously identified as s...

Improvement of an RNA purification method for grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) suitable for cDNA library construction
A method is described, which consistently yields high quality total RNA from grapevine. Dissolving of crude RNA pellets in borate-containing buffer, instead of normally used water before a selective lithium ch...

Expression analysis of salt stress responsive genes in grapevines
In Tunisia, highly tolerant autochthonous varieties represent a valuable resource for elucidating mechanisms of plant adaptation to salinity. Our aim is to determine which genes in these Tunisian grapevine var...
