Phenotypical observations and sampling scheme. A Sampling time points and days after onset of flowering (DAF) are indicated in red. The developmental stage observed is shown in the BBCH stages [3, 4]. DAF zero (0) is set at BBCH61 (onset of flowering, 10% of flowerhoods fallen [3]). Berry development is depicted schematically and categorized into the phases flowering (yellow), berry formation (green), and berry ripening (purple) for both cultivars. The junction between green and purple indicates veraison (BBCH81). To orient for time of year, numbered days after January 1st are shown. B Images of grape bunches and developing berries taken in 2014 are shown to document the differences between PN and PNP. Images were taken 35, 41, 49 and 56 DAF. Scale bar: 50 mm
