Fig. 4: Metabolomic profile of virus-free and virus-vectoring aphids harboring different sets of endosymbionts.
From: Endosymbionts modulate virus effects on aphid-plant interactions
a Discriminant analysis of principal components showing separation of aphid lines based on endosymbiont and virus vectoring status. b Heatmap representing the fold changes of metabolite groups in aphid lines; GABA: gamma-aminobutyric acid. The effects of endosymbionts and virus vectoring status on the levels of metabolite groups were tested using nonparametric ANOVAs (***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05, and ns indicates p > 0.05; same letters do not differ according to subsequent Tukey’s pairwise comparisons): see Supplementary Table 2 for detailed statistical results.
