Pan-network composition revealing the distribution of co-expressed gene-pairs among the NAM genomes and the gene-trait associations. A The growth curve of the pan- and core- networks based on the number of co-expressed gene-pairs. The continuous cyan curve represents the total number of co-expressed gene-pairs for a given number of genomes, the blue curve indicates the number of core gene-pairs, and the vertical bars indicate the standard deviations. Dashed lines, separating the plot into four sections, indicate the sub-categories of pan-network, as core-, dispensable-, near-core-, and core- networks, respectively. B Venn diagram illustrating the number of co-expressed gene-pairs common and unique to the genomes specified. The size of the core-network is shown in the center as the number of co-expressed gene-pairs and the number of genes inside the brackets. The leaves represent the number of unique gene-pairs found in each genome. C Gene-trait association across pan-, core-, near core-, dispensable-, and private- networks. The proportion of the genes associated with the traits across the pan- and core- networks is shown per trait (please see the text for the definition of these categories)
