Characterization of recovery from water stress (RWS) in Montepulciano (MP) and Sangiovese (SG) leaves. a–d Photosynthesis parameters of SG and MP vines under well-watered control conditions (WW) and after recovery from water stress. Data were recorded when the RWS vines reached ~90 % of maximum water availability. e–f Line plots of the differentially modulated genes exhibiting a Fold Change (FC) ≥3 or ≤−3 between RWS and WW samples, throughout the entire treatment period in MP and SG, respectively. g–h Selected genes modulated during RWS in MP and in SG leaves, respectively. The differentially modulated genes between RWS and WW samples were FC ranked and the top 20 and bottom 20 annotated genes are shown in the charts
