Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is a prevalent method for gene expression analysis, depending on the stability of the reference genes for data normalization. Lagerstroemia i
Note: Data were presented as expression stability value (M value) as calculated by NormFinder. Lower average expression stability (M value) indicates more stable expression. The values in bold refer t
Genes with M value≤1.5 are considered stably expressed genes. Stability values represent the combination of intra- and intergroup expression variation.
aBest reference gene determined considering the intragroup and intergroup variation. *When the intragroup and intergroup variation was not considered, ACTB was the best reference gene by NormFinder. B
