Clustering analysis of the spots that resulted to change their relative volumes during ripening. Two-way hierarchical clustering analysis of the 80 spots that showed at least a two-fold change in the relative spot volumes (ANOVA, p < 0.01) in the five different ripening stages of grape berry skins of cultivar Barbera. The véraison stage (0 DAV) was considered as the moment when 50% of the berries started to change colour. The clustering analysis was performed with PermutMatrix graphical interface after Z-score normalization of the averages of relative spot values (n = 6). Pearson's distance and Ward's algorithm were used for the analysis. Each coloured cell represents the average of the relative spot value, according to the colour scale at the bottom of the figure.
