Fig. 1From: Integrated metabolomics and transcriptome analysis on flavonoid biosynthesis in safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) under MeJA treatmentDifferential metabolites analysis. a Volcano plot of differential metabolites. Each point in the volcanic plot represents a metabolite, the abscissa represents the logarithm of the quantitative difference multiples of a metabolite in two samples, and the ordinate represents the variable importance in project (VIP) value. The green dots in the figure represent down-regulated differentially expressed metabolites, the red dots represent up-regulated differentially expressed metabolites, and the black dots represent metabolites detected but that are not significantly different. b The cluster heat map for metabolites. Three biological repeats were shown in the figure. M-CK represents the flowers of safflower treated without MeJA, M-MeJA represents the flowers of safflower treated with MeJA. c The differential metabolites KEGG classification of the comparison flowers of safflower treated without MeJA. The proportion and number of metabolites are marked in the figureBack to article page
