WGCNA analysis of C. buqueti. a Functional modules are illustrated with different colours. The parameter deepSlip = 4 was set in the WGCNA analysis, which provides high sensitivity to cluster splitting. We additionally required each gene module to contain ≥ 50 genes. In total, 10,789 genes were grouped into 19 modules, which are presented as different colours. The top five modules ordered by the number of genes were turquoise with 1952 genes, blue with 1701 genes, brown with 1333 genes, yellow with 1092 genes and green with 654 genes. The grey colour in the left of the figure represents the seven genes that were not associated with any module. b Module-tissue associations. Each row corresponds to a module. Each column corresponds to a specific tissue. The colour of each cell at the row–column intersection indicates the correlation coefficient between the module and developmental stage. A high degree of correlation between a specific module and developmental stage is indicated by dark red or dark green colour. c The gene expression patterns in MEyellow module
