Figure 5
Effects of ZnSO4 treatments on emissions of terpenoids (A), benzenes (B), fatty acid derivatives (C) and total floral volatiles (D) from D. huoshanense petals. The superscript symbols * and ** indicate that there is a significant difference between means in p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01, respectively.

Figure 6
Structure diagram of canonical correlation analysis among the activities of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes (X group), production rates of precursors and ATP (Y group) and emissions of floral volatiles (Z group). (A) shows there is a significantly positive correlation between the X group and the Y group at the statistical 1% level. Similar to (A), (B) also shows a statistical correlation between the X and Z groups. (C) has two canonical correlation coefficients, and they are both statistically significant at the 1% level, indicating that there is a very close positive correlation between the Y and Z group even though their internal canonical loading of each indicator inside the Y and Z group is different. The superscript symbols * and ** indicate that there is a significant difference in the correlation coefficients between the X group, the Y group and the Z group in p ≤ 0.05 and p ≤ 0.01, respectively.
