TL;DR: This study represents the first study to clearly show the differential regulation of VvCHS and VvSTS genes, suggesting the involvement of transcription factors (TFs) in both the activation and repression of these genes.

TL;DR: The identification and functional characterization of two stress-inducible R2R3-MYB–type transcription factors from grapevine, termed MYB14 and MYB15, which regulate the stilbene biosynthetic pathway in grapevine are reported.

TL;DR: A detailed survey of alternative splicing in grape based on 124 SOLiD RNAseq analyses from different tissues, stress conditions and genotypes finds that most of the spliced genes have one major isoform and tend to simultaneously co-express a low number of isoforms, typically two, with intron retention being the most frequent alternativesplicing event.

TL;DR: This review provided a comprehensive screenshot about the studies on WRKY TFs in model plants and in crops of economical relevance, and commented one-by-one on the applications of a suite of new and high-throughput techniques to accelerate the studies of WRKY genes in crops.

TL;DR: The present study identifies a total of 59 putative grapevine WRKY transcription factors and provides a foundation for further comparative genomics and functional studies of this important class of transcriptional regulators in grapevine.
