In both genotypes, enriched up-regulated processes in the transition from R5 to R6 stages included processes like nutrient reservoir activity, oil biosynthesis, oil body formation, ABA induced response, positive regulation of TFs, desiccation tolerance in seed, phosphate and tryptophan transport, and RNA silencing.
Several important oil biosynthesis and oil body formation related genes were further validated by using qRT-PCR in the two culti- vars (Supplementary Fig. 1)
