The variation in grape color is due to the genes responsible for the synthesis of red pigments (anthocyanins.) Through these variations, the varieties Pinot blanc and Pinot gris arose from Pinot noir.

Variations in the color of grapevine berries within the Pinot family result from naturally-occurring genetic mutations that selectively shut down the genes responsible for the synthesis of red ...

Classical methodologies for grapevine selection used in the vine-growing world are generally based on comparisons among a small number of clones. This does not take advantage of the entire genetic ...
