Differentially regulated metabolites during WSS infestation. The differential regulation of metabolites belonging to the phenylpropanoid and pentose phosphate pathways, suggested as key pathways. The control for each metabolite is represented as 1, while the fold changes for each metabolite were calculated by dividing the average scaled intensity value of the WSS-stressed samples by that of the WSS-control metabolite samples. Error bars were calculated by the basic rules of error propagation to estimate the average error in each sample
