Figure 5.
Volcano plots of different metabolites among litchi cultivars. Note: (A) BTY vs. FZX (B) FC vs. FZX (C) YJQ vs. FZX (D) BYL vs. FZX. Each point in the figure represents a metabolite; the abscissa represents the logarithm value of the multiple of quantitative difference of a metabolite in two samples, and the ordinate represents the VIP value. Fold change ≥2 indicates that the difference is up-regulated, and fold change ≤0.5 indicates that the difference is down-regulated. The green dot represents the down-regulated differential metabolite; the red dot represents the up-regulated differential metabolite, and the gray dots represent detected but insignificant metabolites.
