Principal component analyses of the electrospray ionisation (ESI) negative data for sorghum NS 5511 (BT) extracts. (A) represents an 11-component model, explaining 84.2% variations in Pareto-scaled data, X, and the amount of predicted variation by the model, according to cross-validation, is 74.1%. (A,B) represent the same principal component analysis (PCA) scores plot; with (A) coloured according to condition (control vs. infection treatment) and (B) coloured according to time. This two-dimensional scores space, spanned by the first two PCs, reveals infection-related sample clustering (treated/infected = blue, controls = green) and time-related clustering, (days 1–9 post infection) respectively. Note: to determine the group (control/infected) to which the time-related clusters in (B) belong, link to the corresponding positions in (A).
