Identification and selection of reference genes for gene expression analysis by quantitative real-time PCR in Suaeda glauca’s response to salinity

Abstract Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) using a stable reference gene is widely used for gene expression research. Suaeda glauca L. is a succulent halophyte and medicinal plant that is extensively used for phytoremediation and extraction of medicinal compounds. It thrives un...
