(A–D). Natural amended media alter the monogalactosyldiacylglycerides composition of Kale cultivated under control environmental (greenhouse) conditions. (A) Observed kale monogalactosyldiacylglycerides, (B) Biplot showing relationships between observed kale monogalactosyldiacylglycerides levels and media amendments used for growth. One-way ANOVA showing altered Kale functional lipids segregated in (C) quadrants 1 (Q1) and (D) Q3 & Q4 of correlation circle or biplot following principal component analysis. Values in bar chart (nanomole percent by weight composition) represent means ± standard errors. Means in the same row accompanied by different superscripts are significantly different at LSD α = 0.05, n = 4 per experimental replicate. Control = no media amendment added, KH = potassium humate, VC = dry vermicast, VM = volcanic minerals amendments added to the control media. MGDG = monogalactosyldiacylglycerides. HESI-MS = heated electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.
