This study investigates the origin and evolution of grapevines through phylogenomic analysis of 29 genome assemblies, revealing evolutionary relationships and genomic features contributing to their adaptation.

This study uses pan-metagenomics to analyze the grapevine phyllosphere microbiome, revealing its structure, diversity, and functional roles in downy mildew resistance.

The paper evaluates resistance mechanisms in grapevines against downy mildew, finding that V. riparia exhibits layered stomatal immunity that suppresses pathogen entry and development.

The paper assembles and annotates haplotype-resolved genomes of grapevines to uncover genetic diversity and disease resistance mechanisms, identifying structural variants linked to downy mildew resistance.
