WGCNA of genes in different developmental stages in Chinese cordyceps. a. Hierarchical cluster tree showing coexpression modules identified by WGCNA. Each leaf on the tree represents one gene. The major tree branches constitute 11 modules, labeled with different colors. b. Relationships of consensus module eigengenes and different stages. Each row in the table corresponds to a consensus module, labeled with a color as in (a) and each column represents a developmental stage. The module name is shown on the left side of each cell. The number of genes in each module is indicated on the left and the number of TFs in each module is indicated by the number in parentheses. Numbers in the table report the correlations of the corresponding module eigengenes and stages, with the P-values printed below the correlations in parentheses. Each column corresponds to a specific stage. Scale bar on the right indicates the range of possible correlations from positive (red color, 1) to negative (blue color, − 1). The boxes with a colored outline corresponding to the module indicated the significant correlation between the module eigengene and the stage
