Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of genes during the seed germination and young seedling growth of Tamarix hispida. a Dendrogram showing the co-expression modules identified by WGCNA across seed germination and post-germination. The major tree branches constitute 14 modules labelled with different colours. b Module-stage association (each row corresponds to a module, and each column represents a specific stage. The colour of each cell at the row-column intersection indicates the correlation coefficient between a module and the stage). Red indicates the positive correlation between the module and the stage, and blue indicates a negative correlation
