^aThe fold change of the high embryonic yield population vs low embryonic yield population (a higher ratio indicates a higher level of expression of a compound in the high embryonic yield population)
^bP value is the significance level of the difference between two populations
^cVariable Importance in the Projection of the two populations
^dCompared with the low embryonic yield population, the high embryonic yield population presents up or down expressed of this metabolite
