FIGURE 4.

Maize roots metabolic processes (A) and the relative details of secondary metabolism (B) as affected by AMF‐based product (T2) or B. megaterium PGPR formulation (T3), compared with untreated control (T1). The VIP compounds were subjected to fold change analysis (FC ≥ 1), and the resulting values were loaded into the PlantCyc pathway tool (https://www.plantcyc.org/). The x‐axis represents each set of metabolic subcategories, while the y‐axis corresponds to the cumulative log fold change (FC). The large dots represent the average (mean) of all FCs for the different metabolites in the class, while the small dots represent the individual log FC. aa, amino acids; carbo, carbohydrate; derivs, derivative; FA/Lip, fatty acid/lipid; sec met, secondary metabolite; struct, structure; syn, synthesis; metab reg, metabolic regulator; nucleo, nucleotide
