CSN treatment increased the transcriptional levels of fatty acid and glycometabolism metabolism-related genes in sunflower seeds during imbibitions. Without AAT: healthy seeds without accelerated aging test (AAT); AAT + H₂O: AAT seeds with H₂O; AAT + CSN: AAT seeds with compound sodium nitrophenolate (CSN) treatment; LIPG: triacylglycerol lipase; GPDH: glycerol-3-P dehydrogenase; ACX: acyl-CoA oxidase; PCK: phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase; INV: invertase. Real-time quantitative PCR was performed using three biological replications, and each was made in three technical replicates. The Illustrator software was used for creating the heat map. The gene levels from low (L) to high (H) indicated the lowest and highest levels in the whole database.
