Fig. 5

Direct graph of the Partial Least Squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The center part of the graph is based on the other six parts around. Levels of the path coefficients are reflected by the width of the red or blue arrows which indicate positive and negative effects, respectively. Values on the arrow indicate the intensity of the factor loading for the pathway. Pathways from hormone related DEGs to transcription factor encoding DEGs are first orders while those from transcription factor encoding DEGs to flowering related DEGs are second orders
