VIP score-plots derived from the PLS-DA analysis. The VIP scores display discriminant features in Pst-infected plant samples (SRT) compared to untreated (control) samples for Koonap (A) and Gariep (B) over a period of four weeks post-inoculation. Selected metabolites (VIP score ≥ 1) in infected plants were compared to those in control plants at the given time point. The figures show differential accumulation of significant metabolites in infected plants compared to control counterparts in correlation to the plants’ developmental stages. Some metabolites increased over time while other decreased. Furthermore, Pst infection also induced the up- and down-regulation of metabolites as compared to untreated counterparts. The data projected above were median-normalised, log transformed and Pareto-scaled in MetaboAnalyst
