Sample note
The material (Accession Number W6 16791) were obtained from USDA National Plant Germplasm system. The seeds were planted and cultivated in a greenhouse at 18-25 °C located at the National Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Jeonju, Korea.These MIDDLE STAGE flower samples were collected when flowering was considered complete, i.e. more than 90 % of the florets were open. The florets were yellow and the pistils became orange as the development proceeded, and the colour started to change gradually yellos/red.

Sample note
The black coloured fruits from one genotype from the location Palanka, North Serbia were collected by the researchers. Each genotype as represented by one tree, and each sample was taken from one individual plant. The tree was over 30 years old and originated from seed. All berries were picked at the biologically ripe stage. The berries were picked cardinally-oriented branches with different directions arond the canopy. Harvest time was between 10 and 20th June 2011. After picking, the fruits were stored at -20C until chemical analysis.
