Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) is one of the oldest and most widely cultivated fruit crops, valued globally for both wine and table production. Its long history of domestication has generated a remarkable diversity of vegetatively propagated cultivars, now grown worldwide. As a perennial woody species, it also serves as a powerful model for studying developmental phase transitions and complex physiological processes. In the current context of climate instability, major efforts focus on preserving fruit quality and improving grapevine resilience to biotic and abiotic challenges. Strengthening our understanding of grapevine physiology and biology is essential to support a more sustainable and environmentally responsible viticulture.
OneGene project represents a unique tool to exploit the existing transcriptomic data of such a non-model but economically important species to identify associations among genes and reconstruct gene networks, supporting molecular breeding programs.
Vitis OneGenE v1 is based on the VESPUCCI v1 transcriptomic dataset (Moretto et al., 2016)
