Aggregated gene co-expression networks for predicting transcription factor regulatory landscapes in a non-model plant species

The paper evaluates co-expression network aggregation methods in grapevine to predict transcription factor regulatory landscapes and identifies novel regulatory relationships.

Biosynthesis and apoplast accumulation of the apocarotenoid pigment azafrin in parasitizing roots of Escobedia grandiflora

This study identifies azafrin as the orange pigment in Escobedia grandiflora roots, reveals its biosynthesis via a CCD enzyme, and suggests its role in parasitization.

The grape MYB24 mediates the coordination of light-induced terpene and flavonol accumulation in response to berry anthocyanin sunscreen depletion

The paper identifies MYB24 as a transcription factor coordinating light-induced terpene and flavonol accumulation in response to anthocyanin depletion in grape berries.

Initiation of organ maturation and fruit ripening in grapevine is controlled by the CARPO-NAC transcription factor

This study identifies VviCARPO as a key NAC transcription factor regulating grapevine fruit ripening and tissue senescence by controlling chlorophyll degradation and anthocyanin accumulation.

Major orchestration of shikimate, early phenylpropanoid and stilbenoid pathways by Subgroup 2 R2R3-MYBs in grapevine

This study identifies Subgroup 2 R2R3-MYBs as key regulators of the stilbenoid pathway in grapevine by integrating DAP-Seq and co-expression networks.

Differences in berry primary and secondary metabolisms identified by transcriptomic and metabolic profiling of two table grape color somatic variants

The paper compares transcriptomic and metabolic profiles of two table grape cultivars with different berry skin colors, identifying differences in flavonoid and primary metabolite composition and gene expression.
