Figure 7From: Combining multivariate analysis and monosaccharide composition modeling to identify plant cell wall variations by Fourier Transform Near Infrared spectroscopyComparison of population distribution. Normalized population distributions of major cell wall sugars from the experimentally determined Mahalanobis distance and PLS model outliers. The PLS model outliers display a shifted distribution for increased sugar differences for Gal, Gla and Xyl. PLS modeling of cell wall sugar composition provides a smaller and more selective cohort of possible outliers enriched in monosaccharide differences compared to using Mahalanobis distance alone.Back to article page
