Fig. 8

Major gene coexpression network of the candidate genes of the QTLs for LP and BW. Lines indicate co-expression of two linked genes. Network nodes represent genes. The size of the circle shows the betweenness centrality points of the gene. The size of the circle indicates that the gene plays an important role in co-expression. In this graph, genes with higher betweenness centrality points are marked in green and placed in the outer circle, and genes with smaller BC values are marked in red and placed in the inner circle. The three genes in the outer ring, Gh_D03G1056, Gh_D03G1064, and Gh_D03G1134 were candidate genes for LP, and Gh_A02G0111 was a candidate gene for BW
