Samples displayed are a subset of total samples based on the quality of NMR data. Most samples are from 0 h, except for P24 during drought which is from 6 h post pyruvate injection.

ND, not detected (below the level of detection where concentration < 1.9 μM); D, detected (below level of quantification, where concentration 2 - 5 μM)

P, Compound higher during pre-drought (Linear Fixed Effect Model (d.f. = 7), where ND and D were given values of 1 and 4 μM respectively, Oxoisocaproate P=0.0014, Alanine P=0.0074, Formate P=4.2E-4, Glycine P=0.017, Leucine P=0.016, Phenylalanine P=0.030, Pyroglutamate P=0.018, Pyruvate P=0.0011, Uracil P=0.022, Valine P=0.012)

D, Compound higher during drought (Trehalose P=0.020)

*, P<0.05; **, P<0.01; ***, P<0.001
