MCIA projection plot. A MCIA projection plot representing the proteomics and metabolomics datasets from seven experimental plots: PC1 = 34.7% and PC2 = 24.6%. PC1 is represented by the first axis (horizontal), and PC2 is represented by the second axis (vertical). Different symbols represent the respective treatments and omics analyses and are connected by lines where the length is proportional to the divergence between the data from the same replicate. Lines are joined by a common point, representing the reference structure, which maximizes covariance derived from the MCIA synthetic analysis. Colors represent the different field plots. B Eigenvalue and percentage graphics show the amount of variation in the dataset corresponding to each PC
