TL;DR: Comparisons showed that peach has not undergone recent whole-genome duplication, and even though the ancestral triplicated blocks in peach are fragmentary compared to those in grape, all seven paleosets of paralogs from the putative paleoancestor are detectable.

TL;DR: This study reveals that grapevine berries respond to drought by modulating several secondary metabolic pathways, and particularly, by stimulating the production of phenylpropanoids, the carotenoid zeaxanthin, and of volatile organic compounds such as monoterpenes, with potential effects on grape and wine antioxidant potential, composition, and sensory features.

TL;DR: A sequence variant in the NAC gene ppa008301m was shown to co-segregate with the maturity date locus, suggesting this gene as a candidate controlling ripening time in peach and may be used for marker-assisted breeding of new cultivars with differing maturity date.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that due to unprecedented numbers of sequence insertions into the nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, the grape plastome provides limited intraspecific phylogenetic resolution, Nonetheless, archaeological specimens from pre-Roman to medieval times as belonging to all three major chlorotypes found in modern varieties of Western Europe are assigned.

TL;DR: Next-generation sequencing was used to generate 1.3 million genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms on ex situ collections of Triticum urartu L., the wild donor of the Au subgenome of modern wheat, to efficiently identify promising alleles and genetic materials for incorporation into modern crop breeding.
