摘要: Codonopsis pilosula is a well-known medicinal plant. Although its transcriptome sequence has been published, suitable reference genes have not been systematically identified for conducting expression analyses via quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). To screen appropriate genes for use with this species, we applied four different methods-GeNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder-to evaluate the stability of 13 candidates: CpiEF1Bb, CpiCACS, CpiF-Box, Cpi beta-Tubulin, CpiGAPDH, CpiActin2, CpiAPT1, CpiActin7, CpiActin8, CpiRPL6, CpiHAF1, CpiTubulin6, and CpiUBQ12. Expression was examined by qRT-PCR for various tissue types, chemical treatments, and developmental stages. For all tested samples, CpiGAPDH proved to be the most stable. Comprehensive analysis indicated that the most stable internal reference genes were CpiF-Box and CpiCACS in different tissues and at different developmental stages, respectively. Under NaCl stress, CpiAPT1 was the best internal reference gene. For methyl jasmonate and abscisic acid treatments, CpiGAPDH and CpiF-Box, respectively, presented the highest degree of expression stability. Based on these findings, we chose CpiSPL9 as the target gene for validating the suitability of these selected reference genes. All of these results provide a foundation for accurate quantification of expression levels by genes of interest in C. pilosula.
