Dynamics of the concentration of a metabolites in the cytosol and in the total tissue. (A) Dynamics of the concentration of a metabolite M in the cytosol [Mc] and in the total tissue [Mt], assuming the volume of the cytosol Vc constant. Case of an increasing/decreasing cytosolic metabolite (respectively, M1 and M2) and three growth scenarii for Vt (red, green, and blue line); (B) Simulation of seasonal variation in the concentrations of 50 metabolites in cytosol [Mc] and total tissue [Mt], considering the blue scenario of (A) for the growth curve Vt; (C) distribution of the ratio metabolite- metabolite correlations in cytosol on metabolite-metabolite correlations in total tissue; heatmap of the metabolite-metabolite correlations and cluster analysis in cytosol (D) and total tissue (E). The lines and column in (E) are ordered as in (D). The values increase from the green to the red.
