Abstract Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) is widely used for investigating
gene expression patterns and has many advantages, including its high sensitivity,
fidelity, and specificity. Selecting a satisfactory internal reference gene is crucial
for obtaining precise gene expression results in qRT-PCR analyses. In this study,
the transcriptomic data of 2 potato varieties were screened for housekeeping genes
with stable expression patterns. A total of 77 putative genes were selected, which
were highly and stably expressed. Then, qRT-PCR analyses were performed to
examine the expression levels of these 77 candidate reference genes in various
potato tissues, including leaves, More >
