Gene function analysis in grapevine, regulation of berry ripening

About

My research focus on identification of master regulators of berry ripening. I'm using transcriptomic platforms, I'm producing transgenic grapevines with altered expression of targets genes and I'm applying the genome editing DNA-free approach to produced genetically improved vines.
