Application of standard methods for the grapevine (vitis vinifera l.) phenotypic diversity exploration: Phenological traits

In the framework of the COST Action FA1003-'GRAPENET: East-West Collaboration for Grapevine Diversity Exploration and Mobilization of Adaptive Traits for Breeding'-common phenotyping methods have been proposed to characterize germplasm accessions. The protocols aimed at the description of traits of interest for the cultivars exploitation. In particular, phenological and enocarpological methods were selected. This paper will focus on the phenological records. The extended BBCH scale was selected and adapted to our scope.
