Description
Meiling Lin and co-authors hunt for genes behind grape flesh texture in this 2024 study. Texture shapes how good a grape tastes and sells, so breeders prize firm, crisp berries. The team measured five texture traits in four hundred thirty-seven grape varieties using a puncture test that presses into the berry.
The texture traits moved closely together across varieties. Scanning more than two million DNA markers, the team found hundreds of spots linked to texture. Checking which genes sit near those spots and which are switched on in berries pointed to a shortlist. Three genes stood out, and when two of them were switched on more strongly in test berries, the pulp texture changed clearly. The authors offer the genes as targets for breeding better grapes.
