Diploid chromosome-scale assembly of the Muscadinia rotundifolia genome supports chromosome fusion and disease resistance gene expansion during Vitis and Muscadinia divergence
Muscadinia rotundifolia, has been cultivated for centuries in the southeastern United States and is resistant to pathogens that detrimentally affect Vitis vinifera. Single molecule real-time reads were combined with optical maps to reconstruct the two haplotypes of each of the 20 M. rotundifolia chromosomes [... see more]

The genetic basis of sex determination in grapes
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 (SDR) in Vitis species. We report an improved, chromosome-scale Cabernet Sauvignon genome sequence and the phased assembly of nine wild and cultivated grape genomes [... see more]
