(PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) are …

Grapevine is one of the most economically important crops worldwide. However, the
previous versions of the grapevine reference genome tipically consist of thousands of …

Recent evidence for intimate relationship of plants with their microbiota shows that plants
host individual and diverse microbial communities that are essential for their survival …

Structural variants (SVs) are a largely unexplored feature of plant genomes. Little is known
about the type and size of SVs, their distribution among individuals and, especially, their …

It remains a major challenge to identify the genes and mutations that lead to plant sexual
differentiation. Here, we study the structure and evolution of the sex-determining region …

Background Accurate and comprehensive annotation of transcript sequences is essential for
transcript quantification and differential gene and transcript expression analysis. Single …

Background Vegetatively propagated clones accumulate somatic mutations. The purpose of
this study was to better appreciate clone diversity and involved defining the nature of …

The importance of plants as complex entities influenced by genomes of the associated
microorganisms is now seen as a new source of variability for a more sustainable …

Hermaphroditic (perfect) flowers were a key trait in grapevine domestication, enabling a
drastic increase in yields due to the efficiency of self-pollination in the domesticated …

In this genome report, we describe the sequencing and annotation of the genome of the
wine grape Carménère (clone 02, VCR-702). Long considered extinct, this old French wine …
