An advanced genotyping tool to inspect grapevine variability: the Axiom®Vitis22K SNP array
Grapevine is one of the most relevant fruit crops worldwide, owing to its extensive distribution and considerable socio-economic significance.
The XIVth International Symposium on Grapevine Breeding and Genetics is held in Zagreb (Croatia) from June 28 to July 2, 2026.
The event is organised by the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb in collaboration with Institute for Adriatic Crops and Karst Reclamation Split, Institute of Agriculture and Tourism Poreč, Faculty of Agrobiotechnical Sciences Osijek.
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.
Flavescence dorée (FD) is one of the most destructive epidemic diseases affecting yields of cultivated grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) in Europe.
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.
Seedlessness is a key quality trait in table grapes. In Vitis vinifera, seedlessness can originate from different biological processes: parthenocarpy, the fruit formation without fertilization, or steno-spermocarpy, when fertilization occurs but is followed by aborted seed development.
