Co-expression networks during floral transition in EF and NF. a Module-trait associations were evaluated by correlations between MEs, and traits are shown. The left panel shows the 11 modules and the number of member genes. The colour scale on the right shows module-trait correlations from − 1 (Green) to 1 (Blue). EF-Vb represents the vegetative buds from early flowering, as a trait; EF-Tb represents the transition buds from early flowering, as a trait; EF-Rb represents the reproductive buds from early flowering, as a trait; NF-Vb represents the vegetative buds from natural flowering, as a trait; NF-Tb represents the transition buds from natural flowering, as a trait; NF-Rb represents the reproductive buds from natural flowering, as a trait. A high degree of correlation between a specific module and the trait is indicated when the module name is highlighted in red. b Heatmaps showing genes in the modules that were significantly over-represented in EF-Vb
