Principal component analysis (PCA) of tissue ionome variation in cotton under different types of salt–alkali stress (Control (CK), NaCl (CS), Na2SO4 (SS), and Na2CO3 + NaHCO3 (AS)), with the loadings of mineral elements to the PC1 and PC2. (a) Leaf ionome variation among samples and the loadings of elements to the PC1 and PC2; (b) Stem ionome variation among samples and the loadings of elements to the PC1 and PC2; (c) Root ionome variation among samples and the loadings of elements to the PC1 and PC2.
