Weighted gene co-expression network analysis reveals key module and hub genes associated with the anthocyanin biosynthesis in maize pericarp

Anthocyanins are the visual pigments that present most of the colors in plants. Its biosynthesis requires the coordinated expression of structural genes and regulatory genes. Pericarps are the rich sources of anthocyanins in maize seeds. In the experiment, the transcriptomes of transparent and antho...
