Experimental strategy for defining plastic and stable gene expression modules across multiple variables, including field location (and root stock), harvest year and developmental stage of the berry. Following classification of genes as stable or plastic, both sets of genes were further sub-classified on the basis of MapMan ontologies in order to assess if there was a clear link between (lack of) plasticity and gene function.
