Bud dormancy is a critical survival strategy for perennial plants in temperate climates to endure winter, involving complex transcriptional reprogramming. While previous studies have investigated gene expression during discrete phases of the grapevine bud annual cycle, a holistic understanding requires an integrated, season-wide analysis. We conducted a meta-analysis by combining and reexamining the transcriptomic data from two seminal studies on grapevine bud development. Using Self-Organizing ...
