A: Experimental samples were profiled using Direct-Infusion-Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectroscopy (DI-ESIMS). B: The multiple spectra were analysed using multivariate approaches. Data were first interrogated using Principal Component Analysis (PCA; Causton 1987) followed by Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) which is a supervised projection method (Manly 1994) which attempts to designate groups on the basis of the retained PCs. PC-DFA models were created to identify the key metabolites differentially produced in the susceptible and tolerant cultivars based on deriving robust models where differences between classes were separated along a particular PC-DF axis. This allowed plotting the contributions of individual metabolites measured to the model (“loading vectors”). Those metabolites that appeared > ± 1 standard deviation (STD) from the mean value loading were recorded as significant metabolites associated with the differences (Supporting information Table 1). To maximise the information obtained from these analyses, PC-DFA were employed in a two-step manner 1) analysis of all data using classes of genotype and treatment (4 classes) or by treatment grouped according to the sampling times (10 groups per cultivar); 2) analysis of each specific sampling time by genotype and treatment. This identified the key time points and m/z to discriminate the susceptible and resistant cultivars. C: Each m/z was tentatively identified according to predicted true mass (m/z + 1) and interrogation of ESI-MS metabolite libraries constructed from the analysis of tomato plants and olive oils (Goodacre et al. 2002) and of the Kyoto Encyclopaedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) metabolic pathways. D Predicted metabolites (based on m/z) were grouped according to their biochemical pathways and tested by ANOVA for significant differences between the experimental groups. Analysis of each individually targeted pathway according to genotypes, treatment and time point classes were performed to confirm the significance of metabolites. E. The importance of the targeted metabolites and pathways in discriminating between the experimental classes was validated through targeted assays and tandem MS. 0.5 A 0.4 278.00 w[2] 92.00 280.00 34.00

Exemplary metabolic changes in susceptible oat Flega and tolerant Patones under drought. Data represent normalized responses of metabolite pools, that is, mass detector signals in arbitrary units normalized to internal standard and sample dry weight in Flega (triangles) and Patones (circles) under well-watered (open symbols) or drought conditions (solid symbols). Data indicates mean + standard error of 6 replicates which were taken from four pooled plants.
