White-berried variegations on a Pinot gris bunch through the invasion of epidermal colored cells by subepidermal white cells mutated at the berry-color locus.
Clonal polymorphism mainly results from somatic mutations that occur naturally during plant growth. In grapevine, arrays of clones have been selected within varieties as a valuable source of diversity, among them clones showing berry color polymorphism. To identify mutations responsible for this color polymorphism, we studied a collection of 33 clones of Pinot noir, Pinot gris, and Pinot blanc. See Pelsy et al.
