While genome assembly projects have been successful in many haploid and inbred species,
the assembly of noninbred or rearranged heterozygous genomes remains a major …

Modern tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) varieties are bred for uniform ripening (u) light green
fruit phenotypes to facilitate harvests of evenly ripened fruit. U encodes a Golden 2-like (…

It remains a major challenge to identify the genes and mutations that lead to plant sexual
differentiation. Here, we study the structure and evolution of the sex-determining region (SDR) …

Grapevine red blotch-associated virus (GRBaV) is a major threat to the wine industry in the
USA. GRBaV infections (aka red blotch disease) compromise crop yield and berry chemical …

Lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are among the known pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs).
LPSs are potent elicitors of PAMP-triggered immunity (PTI), and bacteria have …

In this genome report, we describe the sequencing and annotation of the genome of the
wine grape Carménère (clone 02, VCR-702). Long considered extinct, this old French wine …

… PCAs were carried out in R with the FactoMineR package ver. … Line of best fit and correlation
coefficient factor (R) are … Line of best fit and correlation coefficient factor (R) are provided. …

Background Vegetatively propagated clones accumulate somatic mutations. The purpose of
this study was to better appreciate clone diversity and involved defining the nature of …

Variegation is a rare type of mosaicism not fully studied in plants, especially fruits. We
examined red and white sections of grape (Vitis vinifera cv. ‘Béquignol’) variegated berries and …

The ascomycete Neofusicoccum parvum, one of the causal agents of Botryosphaeria dieback,
is a destructive wood‐infecting fungus and a serious threat to grape production worldwide…
