Fold changes of metabolite content in etfβ relative to WT are standardized to (−2, 2) by z-score. Asterisks at the upper right of the metabolite names marked in red indicate known metabolic substrates of the ETF/ETFQO system. Metabolites above the black line are significantly higher in etfβ, and metabolites below the black line are markedly lower in etfβ. The color bar on the top of the heatmap indicates N concentration: bright blue, 2 N; wathet blue, 1 N; and gray, N-free. Each color block represents the fold change of the corresponding metabolite content in etfβ relative to WT under the same N concentration at the same stage (panicle length of 9 cm, the left three columns; panicle length of 18 cm, the right three columns). Three independent biological repeats were performed. Source data are provided in the Source Data file.
