Selection and validation of reference genes for quantitative gene expression normalization in Taxus spp.

Abstract Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is commonly used to measure gene expression to further explore gene function, while suitable reference genes must be stably expressed under different experimental conditions to obtain accurate and reproducible data for relative quantification. Taxol or p...
