The paper shows that TPS gene expression, not copy number, explains aroma diversity in grapevine cultivars by analyzing haplotype-resolved genomes and validating enzyme activity through functional assays.

This study identifies genetic factors driving virulence in the grapevine downy mildew pathogen through QTL mapping and population structure analysis, revealing both parallel adaptation and admixture as evolutionary mechanisms.

The paper investigates smoke-induced transcriptional changes in grapevines, identifying glycosyltransferases linked to smoke taint formation and proposing targets for breeding interventions.

The paper identifies an effector deletion in Plasmopara viticola that leads to the breakdown of Rpv3.1-mediated grapevine resistance.
