Yaghooti grape, as the earliest grape variety in Iran, is considered as more resistant to heat, drought, and salinity than other cultivars. Cluster compactness is regarded as an inappropriate feature for the productivity of Yaghooti grape as a critical commercial and nutritional product. In plants, lncRNAs play a critical role in regulating biological processes related to growth and development.

- Grapes are a vital fruit crop globally, but Yaghooti grapes suffer from undesired cluster compactness, affecting their market appeal.
- An analysis of RNA-Seq data revealed 849 long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), with 183 showing differential expression during grape cluster development.
- The research identified connections between these lncRNAs and important processes like grape growth, metabolite synthesis, and stress resistance, suggesting that manipulating these lncRNAs could improve Yaghooti grape quality and reduce cluster compactness.
