Metabolic fingerprinting reveals roles of Arabidopsis thaliana BGLU1, BGLU3 and BGLU4 in glycosylation of various flavonoids

This study identifies the roles of BGLU1, BGLU3, and BGLU4 in glycosylating already glycosylated flavonoids in Arabidopsis thaliana using reverse genetics and metabolic fingerprinting.

Generation and characterisation of an Arabidopsis thaliana f3h/fls1/ans triple mutant that accumulates eriodictyol derivatives

The paper generates and characterizes an Arabidopsis thaliana triple mutant lacking F3H, FLS1, and ANS, revealing a bypass pathway that leads to eriodictyol derivative accumulation.

Genomic characterization of a nematode tolerance locus in sugar beet

The paper identifies a genomic region conferring nematode tolerance in sugar beet using genomic and transcriptomic analyses.

Phased grapevine genome sequence of an Rpv12 carrier for biotechnological exploration of resistance to Plasmopara viticola

The paper presents a phased genome sequence of a grapevine carrying the Rpv12 resistance locus against downy mildew and identifies resistance-related genes for breeding applications.

Characterization of the Brassica napus flavonol synthase gene family reveals bifunctional flavonol synthases

This study characterizes the FLS gene family in Brassica napus, identifying two bifunctional FLS enzymes involved in flavonol biosynthesis.

Large scale genomic rearrangements in selected Arabidopsis thaliana T-DNA lines are caused by T-DNA insertion mutagenesis

The paper uses long-read sequencing to resolve complex T-DNA insertions in Arabidopsis thaliana, revealing chromosomal rearrangements and multiple T-DNA insertions per line.

RNA-Seq Time Series of Vitis vinifera Bud Development Reveals Correlation of Expression Patterns with the Local Temperature Profile

The paper generates an RNA-Seq time series dataset of grapevine bud development and finds a correlation between increased temperatures and heat-shock protein gene expression, with a developmental switch in July.

Genome sequences of both organelles of the grapevine rootstock cultivar 'Börner'

The paper reports the assembly and annotation of chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes from the grapevine rootstock 'Börner', showing maternal inheritance from Vitis riparia.

The R2R3-MYB gene family in banana (Musa acuminata): genome-wide identification, classification and expression patterns

This study identifies and classifies R2R3-MYB genes in banana, revealing their expression patterns and functional clades, providing a foundation for future functional studies and breeding programs.
