Metabolomic Assessment of Induced and Activated Chemical Defence in the Invasive Red Alga Gracilaria vermiculophylla
Figure 2
LC/MS and GC/MS metabolic profiling.
Principal coordinate analysis of RT- m/z pairs derived from LC/MS and GC/MS analyses of Gracilaria vermiculophylla extracts. A & C: Extracts from mechanically wounded algae and controls, analysed by LC/MS and GC/MS, respectively. B & D: Extracts from algae exposed to extracts from previously mechanically wounded and control tissue, analysed by LC/MS and GC/MS, respectively. Numbers in brackets are the percentages of original variance explained by the derived axes.
