This review provides an overview of recent technological advancements that enable
precision breeding to genetically improve elite cultivars of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) …

Background Alternative splicing (AS) significantly enhances transcriptome complexity. It is
differentially regulated in a wide variety of cell types and plays a role in several cellular …

The reduction of pesticide usage is a current imperative and the implementation of
sustainable viticulture is an urgent necessity. A potential solution, which is being …

Abstract R2R3-MYB transcription factors (TFs) belong to a large and functionally diverse
protein superfamily in plants. In this study, we explore the evolution and function of this …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most widely cultivated fruit crops because the
winemaking industry has huge economic relevance worldwide. Uncovering the molecular …

Grapevine organs accumulate anthocyanins in a cultivar‐specific and environmentally
induced manner. The MYBA 1‐A2 genes within the berry color locus in chromosome 2 …

Rhizome is the storage organ of lotus derived from modified stems. The development of
rhizome is a complex process and depends on the balanced expression of the genes that is …

Whereas de novo assemblies of RNA-Seq data are being published for a growing number of
species across the tree of life, there are currently no broadly accepted methods for …

Alternative splicing (AS) plays important roles in many plant functions, but its conservation
across the plant kingdom is not known. We describe a methodology to identify AS events …

Background Grapevine berries undergo complex biochemical changes during fruit
maturation, many of which are dependent upon the variety and its environment. In order to …
