Figure 2

Heatmap showing the relative abundance of the 25 chemical compounds of the essential oil of Lepechinia floribunda. Pollination and simulated herbivory treatments, IwH: inbred plants without simulated herbivory, IH: inbred plants with simulated herbivory, OwH: outcrossed plants without simulated herbivory, OH: outcrossed plants with simulated herbivory. Compounds are ordered according to their frequency of occurrence among the tested plants: priority (present in 100% of plants), non-priority (present in less than 100% and more than 30% of plants) and rare compounds (present in less than 30% of plants). Colors shown in the upright scale represent the relative abundances of compounds (i.e., the percentage of × compound in the essential oil of a plant) from more than zero to 60%, and white cells show absence of compounds. Each row represents an individual plant, and each column represents a chemical compound (signaled with letters) a: borneol, b: β caryophyllene, c: aromadendrene, d: α humulene, e: ledol plus unidentified oxygenated sesquiterpene compound, probably a precursor of ledol, f: α terpineol, g: bornyl acetate, h: α gurjunene, i: 1,8 cineol, j: alloaromadendrene, k: α amorphene, l: ledene, m: α fernesene, n: β selinene, o: nerolidol, p: palustrol, q: tau cadinol, r: α bulnesene, s: α pinene, t: camphene, u: β pinene, v: β gurjunene, w: α guaiene, x: γ cadinene, y: α eudesmol. The R software (function pheatmap of the library “pheatmap”, version 4.1.2) was used to create this heatmap.
