Drought and heat tolerance are complex quantitative traits. Moreover, the adaptive
significance of some stress-related traits is more related to plant survival than to agronomic …

Human ageing is a complex and integrated gradual deterioration of cellular processes.
There are nine major hallmarks of ageing, that include changes in DNA repair and DNA …

The grapevine reference genome was published by Jaillon et al.[1]. The sequence for the
first version of the genome, called the 8X version, was obtained using a whole genome …

In order to elucidate the still controversial processes that originated European wine grapes
from its wild progenitor, here we analyse 204 genomes of Vitis vinifera and show that all …

Suberin, a polymer composed of both aliphatic and aromatic domains, is deposited as a
rough matrix upon plant surface damage and during normal growth in the root endodermis …

Plant can acquire tolerance to environmental stresses via transcriptome reprogramming at
transcriptional and alternative splicing (AS) levels. However, how AS coordinates with …

The genome sequence of the diploid and highly homozygous Vitis vinifera genotype
PN40024 serves as the reference for many grapevine studies. Despite several …

Heat stress is one of the primary abiotic stresses that limit crop production. Grape (Vitis
vinifera) is a cultivated fruit with high economic value throughout the world, with its growth …

Abstract Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.), an important subtropical fruit in the family
Sapindaceae, is grown in more than 10 countries. Longan is an edible drupe fruit and a …

Stilbene synthase (STS) is the key enzyme leading to the biosynthesis of resveratrol.
Recently we reported two R2R3-MYB transcription factor (TF) genes that regulate the …
