Powdery mildew (PM) is a severe fungal disease of cultivated grapevine world‐wide. Proanthocyanidins (PAs) play an important role in resistance to fungal pathogens; however, little is known about PA‐mediated PM resistance in grapevine.We identified a WRKY transcription factor,VqWRKY56, fromVitis quinquangularis, the expression of which was significantly induced by PM.Overexpression (OE) ofVqWRKY56inVitis viniferaincreased PA content and reduced susceptibility to PM. Furthermore, the transgenic plants showed more cell death and increased accumulation of salicylic acid and reactive oxygen species. Transient silencing ofVqWRKY56inV. quinquangularisandV. viniferareduced PA accumulation and increased the susceptibility to PM. VqWRKY56 interacted with VqbZIPC22 in vitro and in planta. The protein VqWRKY56 can bind toVvCHS3,VvLAR1, andVvANRpromoters, and VqbZIPC22 can bind toVvANRpromoter. Co‐expression ofVqWRKY56andVqbZIPC22significantly increased the transcript level ofVvCHS3,VvLAR1, andVvANRgenes. Finally, transient OE ofVqbZIPC22inV. viniferapromoted PA accumulation and improved resistance to PM, while transient silencing inV. quinquangularishad the opposite effect.Our study provides new insights into the mechanism of PA regulation byVqWRKY56in grapevine and provides a basis for further metabolic engineering of PA biosynthesis to improve PM resistance.
