The paper develops a shallow convolutional neural network to automate disease severity scoring in grapevine leaf discs infected with downy mildew, showing high correlation with manual scoring.

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.

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