From: Weighted gene co-expression network analysis unveils gene networks associated with the Fusarium head blight resistance in tetraploid wheat

Fig. 4

The candidate defense hub genes within modules significantly correlated with Type II FHB resistance. Genes with the top 10% intra-modular connectivity in modules significantly correlated with Type II FHB resistance (FHB-M1, FHB-M2 and FHB-M3, FHB-M4 and FHB-Dev modules) were considered as hub genes. Heat maps show the normalized counts value of each gene represented by a color spectrum ranging from red (high expression) to blue (low expression). The expression is shown for durum wheat cv. Strongfield (SF), Triticum turgidum ssp. carthlicum line Blackbird (BB) and two doubled haploid lines of the SF/BB population with transgressive resistance (R) and susceptible (S) FHB ratings, in mock-inoculated and Fusarium graminearum (Fg)-inoculated samples. Gene IDs were extracted from the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) RefSeq v1.0 annotation and gene names denoted in parenthesis belong to orthologues identified through blast search against the TrEMBL protein database
