This study identifies haplotype-specific expression of a terpene synthase gene as the source of linalool variation in Riesling grapevines, showing regulatory variation within terpene synthase clusters drives monoterpene diversity.

This study shows that allelic variation at a terpene synthase locus affects wine monoterpene levels and sensory attributes in a Riesling x Cabernet Sauvignon population.
