Comprehensive evaluation of candidate reference genes for quantitative real-time PCR-based analysis in Caucasian clover

Abstract The forage species Caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum M. Bieb.), a groundcover plant, is resistant to both cold and drought. However, reference genes for qRT-PCR-based analysis of Caucasian clover are lacking. In this study, 12 reference genes were selected on the basis of transcriptomic...
