Selection and Validation of Reference Genes for mRNA Expression by Quantitative Real-Time PCR Analysis in Neolamarckia cadamba

Abstract Neolamarckia cadamba is an economically-important fast-growing tree species in South China and Southeast Asia. As a prerequisite first step for future gene expression studies, we have identified and characterized a series of stable reference genes that can be used as controls for quantitati...
