Evaluation of Angelica decursiva reference genes under various stimuli for RT-qPCR data normalization

Abstract Angelica decursiva is one of the lending traditional Chinese medicinal plants producing coumarins. Notably, several studies have focused on the biosynthesis and not the RT-qPCR (quantitative real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction) study of coumarins. This RT-qPCR techniqu...
