Grape Small Auxin Upregulated RNA (<i>SAUR</i>) 041 Is a Candidate Regulator of Berry Size in Grape

Grape (<i>Vitis vinifera</i>) is an important horticultural crop that can be used to make juice and wine. However, the small size of the berry limits its yield. Cultivating larger berry varieties can be an effective way to solve this problem. As the largest family of auxin early response...
