Identification of a Novel Reference Gene for Apple Transcriptional Profiling under Postharvest Conditions
Fig 1
Gene expression levels of the candidate reference genes in apple.
The genes, MdACT (ACTIN), MdH1 (HISTONE1), MdNAP1 (NUCLEOSSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN 1), MdPDI (PROTEIN DISULPHIDE ISOMERASE) and MdUBC (UBIQUITIN-CONJUGATING ENZYME E2) were evaluated in five independent experiments consisting of plant organs (I), fruit developmental stages (II), fruit ripening at room temperature (III), ethylene treatment on cold stored apples (IV) and long term cold storage combined with distinct controlled atmosphere conditions (V). Horizontal bar represents Cq median and whiskers represent highest and lowest values.
