Multivariate analysis for environmental factors

Hello there, a question by a novice.

 

I have data on the quantity of certain molecules in the essential oil of a plant I am researching. I've tested two factors, Temperature and Length of day to see how they affect the quantity of these molecules. There are 4 different temperatures, 2 different day lengths (a total of 8 treatments) and 18 molecules tested in 3 repeats of each treatment.

 

What would be the best test to apply to these results to see which treatment is correalated with certain abundance of a molecule, and how should I do that.

 

Thanks.

If all you seek is examining for correlation (as opposed to modeling?), a graphical approach is always a good place to start. I'd just start with JMP's Graph Builder and start dragging and dropping factors and responses onto the graphing zone. Maybe mix in a local data filter for easy peeling back of the correlation onion. For a more analytic as well as graphical approach, the Multivariate platform is your place to start.
