Expression analysis 12 TaHMT genes in tillers. A WGCNA analysis of 12 genes in tillers. B The expression of TaHMT50 and TaHMT122 in specific combinations showed a strong negative correlation with effective tiller number. The relative expression of the female parent of each combination was relative 1, which is shown in the blue-colored and marked as a dotted line. Red represented the relative expression of F1, and the yellow adjacent to the right represents the relative expression of its male paternity. +  + marks applicability for all HP combinations, and – indicates LP combinations. R represents the Pearson correlation coefficient. Values are means ± SD (n = 3)
