This paper demonstrates the value of fungal trait-based phenotyping in microbiome research by analyzing four case studies and introduces q2-fungal-traits, a QIIME2 plugin for integrating fungal taxonomy with ecological and functional traits.

The paper examines how environmental factors and vineyard management practices influence microbial communities, soil properties, and grape quality in Pinot Noir vineyards across two Swiss regions.

HighALPS adapts existing microbiome protocols for newer Illumina platforms, enabling ultra-high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA and ITS markers with high read depth and reliability.

This study investigates environmental drivers of microbial communities in Swiss vineyards using multi-omics data and machine learning to link microbiome composition to wine characteristics.

This study identifies genetic loci in grapevine that influence berry-associated microbial communities, including pathogenic fungi and fermentative yeasts, revealing broad genetic control over microbiome assembly.

This study tracks microbial changes in wine grapes from two nearby vineyards during processing, showing that site-specific microbial signatures persist despite shared farming practices and that winery environments contribute to the fermentation microbiome.

This paper introduces q2-fondue, a software plugin for reproducibly acquiring, managing, and analyzing nucleotide sequence data from public repositories.
