Parentage analysis is a cornerstone of molecular ecology that has delivered fundamental
insights into behaviour, ecology and evolution. Microsatellite markers have long been the …

We elucidate grapevine evolution and domestication histories with 3525 cultivated and wild
accessions worldwide. In the Pleistocene, harsh climate drove the separation of wild grape …

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is one of the most widely cultivated plant species of agricultural
interest, and is extensively appreciated for its fruits and the wines made from its fruits …

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 …

In order to elucidate the still controversial processes that originated European wine grapes
from its wild progenitor, here we analyse 204 genomes of Vitis vinifera and show that all …

Understanding the Vitis species at the genomic level is important for cultivar improvement of
grapevine. Here we report whole-genome genetic variation at single-base resolution of 472 …

Abstract The Eurasian grapevine (Vitis vinifera) has long been important for wine production
as well as being a food source. Despite being clonally propagated, modern cultivars exhibit …

Plasmopara viticola (Berk. et Curt.) Berl. and de Toni, the agent of downy mildew, is one of
the most important pathogens of European grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.). Extensive evaluation …

The necessity to adapt to climate change is even stronger for grapevine than for other crops,
because grape berry composition—a key determinant of fruit and wine quality, typicity and …

Chardonnay is the basis of some of the world's most iconic wines and its success is
underpinned by a historic program of clonal selection. There are numerous clones of …
