Over the past few decades, Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping has been widely applied in grapevine to investigate the genetic architecture of complex traits.

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.

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.

Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly post-translational histone modifications, are pivotal regulators of phenotypic plasticity in perennial crops.

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is a versatile organism and a key worldwide crop. One well-studied aspect of grapevine biology concerns the important agricultural trait of fruit color variation.

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the most widely cultivated and emblematic crops in the world. Understanding the biology of grapevine, and how plant genetics determines the general performance of a variety is crucial for its optimization and quality monitoring.

DNA–protein interactions play a fundamental role in essential cellular processes such as transcriptional regulation, DNA replication, recombination, and repair. Investigating these interactions is therefore crucial for understanding gene regulatory networks.

Grapevine rootstocks remain the primary defence against phylloxera and soil-borne stresses in viticulture. However, increasing climatic variability and emerging environmental constraints demand the development of improved, climate-resilient rootstock varieties.

Achieving intense berry coloration and high phenolic ripeness represents a major challenge in cool climate viticulture, where lower temperatures often limit anthocyanin accumulation and the production of full-bodied red wines.

Vitis vinifera L. is a perennial woody vine of global importance, both in terms of economic value and geographical distribution.

Grapevine black rot, caused by the ascomycete Phyllosticta ampelicida (Engelm.), formerly known as Guignardia bidwellii, is re-emerging as a major disease in European vineyards.
