a Coexpression modules of terpenoid biosynthetic genes clustered by WGCNA. b Candidates strongly associated with attractive and defensive terpenoids in lavender. The large circles indicate the main terpenoids in lavender. Linalool, linalyl acetate, and lavandulyl acetate have sweet floral and refreshing odors and mainly function as attractants for pollinators; borneol, camphor, 1,8-cineole, camphene, and bornyl acetate are always repellents to pests. Genes clustered into different modules are filled in green, blue, turquoise, yellow, and brown. Circles and hexagons represent genes involved in one and two steps of terpenoid biosynthesis. TPSs, BAHDs, and genes belonging to the CYP71 clan are indicated by diamonds, triangles, and squares, respectively. Edges represent the correlation between terpenoids and genes. Purple lines indicate a positive correlation, whereas cyan lines indicate a negative correlation
