Phenology of flowering and starch accumulation in grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cuttings and vines.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Reconstructions have identified the 20th century as being uniquely warm in the last 1000 years. Changes in the phenology of primary meristems converged toward increases in length of the growing season. Has the phenology of secondary meristem changed during the last century, and to what extent?
