§ Abbreviated pigments names are as follows: Df. delphinidin-3-glucoside; Cn. cyanidin-3-glucoside; Pt. petunidin-3-glucoside; Po. peonidin-3-glucoside; Mv. malvidin-3-glucoside; PoAc. peonidin-3-O-acetylglucoside; MvAc. malvidin-3-O-acetyl-glucoside; PoCu. peonidin-3-O-coumaroyl-glucoside; MvCu. malvidin-3-O-coumaroyl-glucoside. Values are means ± standard errors of four replicates, expressed as percentage of the total anthocyanin content. Compounds significantly affected by the temperature treatments are denoted in bold letters. Asterisks indicate significant difference between HT and C treatments at p ≤ 0.05 (*), p ≤ 0.01 (**), for a given year, phenological stage, and cultivar (DGC test).
