Over the past few decades, Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping has been widely applied in grapevine to investigate the genetic architecture of complex traits.
The onset of fruit ripening represents a major developmental transition characterized by extensive transcriptional and metabolic reprogramming that determines fruit texture, color, flavor, and aroma.
Clonal selection has been used for centuries to improve major grapevine varieties, yet the molecular mechanisms responsible for phenotypic variation among clones remain poorly understood.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a clonally propagated crop of high economic value and remarkable genetic complexity, characterized by extensive structural variation and heterozygosity.
Grapevine is one of the most relevant fruit crops worldwide, owing to its extensive distribution and considerable socio-economic significance.
Pangenomes capture the genetic diversity included in several genome assemblies. We can then use these pangenomes as a new reference for genomic studies.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is considered as one of the most economically important crops worldwide.
The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) family is a group of plant transcription factors characterized by the presence of a conserved LOB domain, which facilitates DNAbinding.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) faces increasing pressure from combined abiotic and biotic stressors. Achieving dual stress tolerance through editing of a single target offers a promising strategy for the development of robust, climate-resilient crops.
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most economically important fruit crops at worldwide level, and its development is highly dependent on environmental conditions.
Somatic embryogenesis refers to the process through which differentiated plant cells reacquire totipotency and regenerate into whole plants.
Fruit-quality traits including berry aroma and bunch architecture are major targets for improvement in both the wine and table grape industry.
Flavescence dorée (FD) is one of the most destructive epidemic diseases affecting yields of cultivated grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) in Europe.
Modern viticulture relies predominantly on traditional European grapevine cultivars (Vitis vinifera) and is therefore heavily dependent on fungicide use to mitigate crop losses from downy (Plasmopara viticola)
Fruit set is the transformation of flowers into berries, a major component of yield in grapevines. The efficiency of this process depends on multiple factors, including plants' reproductive performance.
