Zheng, L.Y., Zhang, Z.J., Zhang, J.-M., Li, X.W., Huang, J., Lin, W.-C., Li, W.D., Li, C.R., & Lu, Y.-B. 2019 Selection of reference genes for RT-qPCR analysis of Phenacoccus solenopsis (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) sex-dimorphic development. Journal of Integrative Agriculture 18(4): 854–864

Keywords:

  • genetics
  • Notes: A method to investigate sex-dimorphic mechanisms is by evaluating gene expression using RT-qPCR. However, the accuracy and consistency of this technique depend on the reference gene(s) selected. In this study, we analyzed the expression of 10 candidate reference genes in male and female P. solenopsis at different development stages,
