Identification of the most suitable reference gene for gene expression studies with development and abiotic stress response in Bromus sterilis

Abstract Bromus sterilis is an annual weedy grass, causing high yield losses in winter cereals. Frequent use of herbicides had led to the evolution of herbicide resistance in this species. Mechanisms underlying herbicide resistance in B. sterilis must be uncovered because this problem is becoming a...
