Exploring the Genetic Landscape: North American Wild Grapes and the Super-Pangenome

Grapevine (Vitis vinifera) is a globally significant crop cultivated for various grape-based products like wine, raisins, and grape juice. Despite its economic importance, the productivity of V. vinifera has been threatened by susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses. To address this, grafting V. vinifera cultivars onto rootstocks from wild grape species has been a common practice.
