This study examines how Botrytis cinerea infection alters the microbiome of grape berries during noble rot, identifying microbial shifts and associations across infection stages and vintages.

The paper investigates cell layer-specific cell wall modifications in pistachio hulls and links them to exo-mesocarp split during fruit development.

This study generates a chromosome-scale pistachio genome and analyzes kernel development stages to understand molecular pathways affecting nutritional quality.

This study predicts genomic resistance to gray mold in strawberries, finding heritable but complex traits with moderate genomic selection accuracy.

This study analyzes somatic mutations in clonally propagated grapevines, finding that repetitive intergenic regions drive genome diversification and that deleterious mutations accumulate in clones.

This study uses Iso-Seq to reconstruct the transcriptome of Cabernet Sauvignon grape berries, identifying cultivar-specific genes without relying on a reference genome.
