Validation of reference genes for the normalization of the RT-qPCR gene expression of virulence genes of Erwinia amylovora in apple shoots

Abstract To study the expression of pathogenicity-related genes in Erwinia amylovora, seven candidate reference genes (ffh, glyA, gyrA, proC, pykA, recA, rpoB) were selected and validated with the following five different mathematic algorithms: geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, the delta CT method and...
