This study aimed to unravel the taxonomic structure and functional potential of the cyanobacterial community in a large, shallow meso-eutrophic lake in Central Italy (Lake Trasimeno) through shotgun metagenomic analysis. The metagenomic profiling of samples allowed to characterize the structure of the bacterial community, also including the identification of rare species, not detected with the determination of metagenome-assem...

Key message We present a high-density integrated map for grapevine, allowing refinement and improved understanding of the grapevine genome, while demonstrating the applicability of the Vitis 18K SNP chip for linkage mapping. Abstract The improvement of grapevine through biotechnology requires identification of the molecular bases of target traits by studying marker-trait associations. The Vitis 18K SNP chip provides a useful g...

Community composition of freshwater prokaryotes and protists varies through time. Few studies contemporarily investigate temporal variation of these freshwater communities for more than 1 year. We compared the temporal patterns of prokaryotes and protists in three distinct habitats for 4 years (2014–2017) in Lake Tovel, a cold‐water lake. This lake showed a marked temperature increase in 2017 linked to altered precipitation pa...

Temporal dynamics of bacterioplankton are rarely investigated for multiple habitats and years within individual lakes, limiting our understanding of the variability of bacterioplankton community (BC) composition with respect to environmental factors. We assessed the BC composition of a littoral and two pelagic habitats (euphotic zone and hypolimnion) of Lake Tovel monthly from April 2014 to May 2017 by high‐throughput sequenci...
