This study identifies conserved and species-specific gene expression patterns in wild Vitis species under drought stress, linking non-plastic gene expression to root phenotypes involved in drought adaptation.

The paper benchmarks genomic, phenomic, and metabolomic prediction models for agronomic traits in grapevine breeding populations, finding genomic prediction most accurate and metabolomic intermediate.

The paper identifies colocalizations between disease resistance QTL and agro-oenological traits in grapevine hybrids and highlights the value of wild Vitis species for improving cultural characteristics.
