Table 2.
A pairwise analysis was conducted on maize samples under control and abiotic stress conditions using the DGCA package to examine the correlation differences between gene pairs. In the analysis, a total of 24 genes were included, selected through a combination of LASSO regression and hub gene identification. A significance threshold of P value 0.05 was applied, resulting in a total of 276 pairwise comparisons. Among these comparisons, the top 16 gene pairs demonstrated a heightened level of significance, with a P value of 0.01.
