The primary metabolome in cold-acclimated leaf samples of accessions Rsch and Cvi. a Ratios of metabolite levels which were built by dividing the absolute mean values of metabolite levels of Rsch by levels of Cvi which were assessed by a GC-TOF/MS measurement (see Methods - GC-MS Metabolite Analysis; n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant differences as described in the figure. Grey-coloured metabolites were not experimentally analysed. b Absolute starch levels in non cold-acclimated (blue bars) and cold acclimated (red bars) leaf samples of Cvi and Rsch (n = 3). Asterisks indicate significant differences (* p < 0.05; ** p<0.01; *** p < 0.001)
