Résumé
A correct and stably expressing reference gene is prerequisite for successful quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Investigating gene expression profiling during flower development could enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of flower formation and fertility in Lycium. In this study, 11 candidate reference genes in Lycium flower development were selected from transcriptome sequence data and evaluated with five traditional housekeeping genes from previous studies based on qRT-PCR amplification. Comparing the expression stability result of 16 candidate genes using GeNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and Delta Ct algorithms, Lba04g01649 and Lba12g02820 were validated as the optimal reference genes for the flower development of Lycium. The reference genes identified in this study would improve the accuracy of qRT-PCR quantification of target gene expression in Lycium flower development and facilitate future functional genomics studies on flower development. This research could lay the foundation for the study of the reproduction and development of the Lycium flower.
