Abstract: 【Objective】The objectives of this study are to identify the DELLA protein family genes from grapevine (Vitis vinifera) genome, to know the profile of DELLA protein family such as gene number, gene structure and tissue expression in grape, and to explore the mechanism of DELLA protein in gibberellic acid (GA) signaling pathway and in seedless fruit development of grapevine.【Method】DELLA protein genes in grape genome were identified by HMMER and NCBI CDD software based on DELLAgenes from Arabidopsis and rice. The full-length cDNAs were obtained by clone techniques from grapevine cv. ‘Rosario Bianco’. Cis-elements of their promoters were identified to predict their potential functions. Their chromosomal localization, gene structures, phylogenetic analysis, physicochemical properties, subcellular localizations and protein interactions were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis softwares. Subcellular localization of DELLA proteins were observed by Agrobacterium-mediated transient expression in tobacco leaf. The qRT-PCR method was used to detect the temporal and spatial expression of DELLA protein genes in the grape berry pericarp, berry flesh and seed (or seed area) induced by exogenous GA.【Result】A total of 3 DELLA proteingenes were identified from grape genome, their precise sequences were cloned and verified, named VvGAI1 (VIT_201s0011g05260), VvRGA (VIT_214s0006g00640) and VvSLR1 (VIT_211s0016g04630), respectively. Their chromosomal localization, open reading frame (ORF), number of amino acid of DELLA genes were Chr1, 1 773 bp, 590; Chr14, 1 710 bp, 569; Chr11, 1 599 bp, 532, respectively. Gene structure analysis result showed that there no intron and only one exon, and gene structures were highly conserved. Phylogenetic analysis showed that VvGAI1 was closely related to VvRGA, and were clustered into one group, with VvSLR1 was another group. The promoters of the 3 genes all contained elements that were responsible for GA and endosperm development, suggesting that they might be involved in response to GA signaling and endosperm development. Subcellular localization result showed that all 3 grape DELLA proteins were located in the nucleus. The results of qRT-PCR showed that the expression of 3 DELLA genes, except for VvSLR1 in the berry pericarp had a peak of expression at near maturity, the rest were highly expressed in young fruit stage, and exogenous GA treatment all reduced the expression of three DELLA protein genes in the grape berry pericarp, berry flesh and seed area, especially in the seed area. Protein interaction analysis showed that all 3 DELLA proteins were the core components of GA signal transduction in grape, which may interact with GIDI1 and SLY1 in GA signal transduction.【Conclusion】DELLA protein gene family in grapevine contains 3 genes. Their structures among different species are highly conserved. GA may participate in the development of berry pericarp, berry flesh and seed area through negative regulation of these three members, and all 3 members may regulate the development of grapes seedless fruit by responding to GA.
