Table 1.
Field information of the eight potato samples used in this study for experimental validation of candidate reference genes.
Table 2.
Candidate potato reference genes with more than 50 counts per million reads (highest expression), lowest inter quartile ranges (IQRs) and known functions, used for experimental validation.
Fig 1.
Expression profiles of the tested reference genes in raw Cp values for all 8 samples.
Expression data are displayed as raw Cp values for each reference gene across all samples. The line denotes the median and boxes indicate the 25/75 percentiles.
Table 3.
Ranking of candidate reference genes according to the estimated values of stability of expression, as calculated by the NormFinder algorithm and M value calculated using geNorm estimated M–values, for the candidate reference genes.
Fig 2.
Average values of stability of gene expression for the selected reference genes assessed by geNorm.
The plots indicate expression profiles and the determination of the optimal number of control genes for the eight samples.
