Identifying metabolite changes occurring in Inline graphic or Inline graphic in tobacco leaves following inoculation with Psph. Results are shown for PCA of 150 metabolites detected by GC-MS in Inline graphic-fed and Inline graphic-fed tobacco leaves following infiltration with 10mM MgCl2 (mock inoculated) (A), and Inline graphic-treated and Psph challenged plants (B) or Inline graphic-treated and Psph challenged plants (C). In each case, samples were analysed at 4, 8, and 24h following inoculation. In (B) and (C), clear separation between mock- and Psph-inoculated plants is delineated and labelled. In (A–C), the loading vectors (listed in Supplementary Table S1) used for the corresponding PC1 and PC2 are plotted. The ‘+’ marks the zero point where loading vectors associated with metabolites make no contribution to the plot shown in (B), whilst the circles correspond to 1 and 2 SD from this zero point. Thus, the metabolites that are major sources of variation are shown.
