This study examines transcriptomic responses in cranberry hybrids under heat and cold stress, identifying potential for cold tolerance through introgression from a wild relative.

This paper constructs and analyzes the first pangenomes for blueberry and cranberry, revealing high genetic diversity and identifying genes associated with disease resistance and fruit quality.

The paper compares the genomes of cranberry and its wild relative to identify genomic regions associated with domestication and breeding traits.

The paper constructs a high-density cranberry composite map using GBS and SSRs to enable molecular-assisted breeding and genomic studies.
