Comparison of methanolic (MEs) with nanoconjugate (NEs) extracts from individual lines. a PCA of untargeted metabolomics data demonstrating the separation of MEs and NEs from the wild type Ler, and from the mutants tt3 and tt4. Principle component (PC) 1 and PC2 are presented. Three biological replicates were used for these analyses. The number of metabolites analyzed (n) is noted. b Distribution of metabolites with significant loading in PC1 into chemical classes. The number below the plant line identifier denotes the number of endogenous metabolites with significant loading that were sorted into chemical classes. F, Flavonoids; L, Lipids; O, Other
