Grapevine is grown under extensive fungicide use, mainly due to two diseases native to North America that were introduced to Europe in the nineteenth century, downy mildew and powdery mildew.

The R2R3-MYB transcription factors VviMYB14 and VviMYB15 are established master regulators of the stilbene biosynthetic pathway in grapevine, directly modulating stilbene synthase (STS) genes.

The present study aimed to identify genomic regions associated with leaf resistance to grapevine phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae).

Despite significant progress in grapevine research, conducting functional genetic studies at the berry level remains challenging due to the species’ physiological and developmental limitations, including its perennial growth habit, large plant size, and long juvenile phase.

Gene regulation in grapevine emerges from interconnected above- and below-ground responses to the environment.

Berry juice color plays a critical role in determining grape and wine quality, influencing consumer preferences and market appeal.

RNA-seq is a standard approach for studying gene expression in grapevine, yet downstream bioinformatics remains a bottleneck.

Berry texture and seed size are major components of grapevine fruit quality, influencing both consumer perception and technological performance; however, the genetic bases of these traits remain incompletely understood.

Global warming accelerates the loss of acidity in grape berries (Vitis vinifera), a critical parameter for wine quality and sensory freshness.

Bunch compactness (BC) is a complex trait which can influence several aspects of fruit quality given its role in disease susceptibility, ripening heterogeneity and consumer acceptance (in the case of fresh grapes).

The quality and productivity of grapevines are highly dependent on environmental factors. Climate change is altering grapevine physiology and wine production conditions, thus, winegrowers need to adapt to maintain optimal production and wine quality.
