Validation of potential reference genes for qPCR in maize across abiotic stresses, hormone treatments, and tissue types.

The reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is a powerful and widely used technique for the measurement of gene expression. Reference genes, which serve as endogenous controls ensure that the results are accurate and reproducible, are vital for data normalization. To b...
