Figure 2From: Combining multivariate analysis and monosaccharide composition modeling to identify plant cell wall variations by Fourier Transform Near Infrared spectroscopyFT-NIR and multivariate analysis of rice. Mahalanobis distance analysis of the rice brittle culm (bc) mutant and wildtype (WT, cultivar Nipponbare). The distance was based on the first principal component score of the FT-NIR spectra with WT1 and WT2 used as the reference set against all BC samples with WT3 and WT4 employed as the test set.Back to article page
