New Insights into the Genetic Regulation and Quality Improvement of Grapes

Grapevines are among the earliest domesticated plants and are also one of the most widely cultivated and commercially important fruit trees worldwide. Grapes can not only be consumed as fresh fruits but can also be used for industrial processing to produce goods such as wine, dried fruits, and fruit juice. Grapevines are characterized by abundant germplasm resources, which are reflected in significant differences in fruit quality (berry weight, sugar, acid, anthocyanin, and aroma) and resistance mechanisms (to biotic and abiotic stress). Therefore, analyzing the genetic characteristics of different resources and optimizing cultivation can provide a more solid theoretical basis for high-quality grapevine production. This reprint collects the latest research achievements of researchers in the field of grapevine genetic regulation mechanisms and quality improvement, aiming to promote the sustainable development and high-quality and efficient production of the grape industry.
