Selection of reference genes for expression analysis using RT-qPCR in the dissemination system of Heliothis virescens ascovirus 3 h (HvAV-3h)

Abstract Ascoviruses are double-stranded DNA viruses that mainly infect noctuid larvae, and are transmitted by the parasitoid wasp Microplitis similis Lyle. Ascovirus-parasitoids wasp-noctuid insects constitute the dissemination system. Selection of suitable reference genes for the dissemination sys...
