Weighted gene co-expression network analysis − based selection of hub genes related to phenolic and volatile compounds and seed coat color in sorghum
We confirmed the relationship between PCC, VOCs, and seed coat color, with darker seed coat colors showing higher tannin, ketone contents and redder colors indicating higher flavonoid content. Network analysis helped pinpoint key genes involved in these traits. This study will provide essential data for improving the food and industrial use of sorghum.
