Fig. 4From: GC-MS-based metabolite profiling of key differential metabolites between superior and inferior spikelets of rice during the grain filling stageCorrelation between contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and trehalose and the grain filling rate of inferior spikelets (IS). A Content of fructose was not associated with grain filling rate of IS (R = -0.3856, P = 0.3929). B Content of glucose was not associated with grain filling rate of IS (R = -0.2203, P = 0.6350). C Content of sucrose was positively associated with grain filling rate of IS (R = 0.883, P = 0.0075). D Content of trehalose was positively associated with grain filling rate of IS (R = 0.892, P = 0.0069). Pearson’s correlation was used to determine correlation coefficients (R) and P-values for each correlationBack to article page
