Table IV. Correlation coefficients between gene regulation of the vernalization pathway and flowering time.
GRN analysis revealed that several edges (Pearson correlations between gene pairs) of the vernalization pathway correlated significantly with flowering time in vernalized plants, indicating that flowering time can be explained by the regulation of genes analyzed in this study.
