This paper aims to discuss various aspects of the use of reference genes in qPCR technique
used in the thousands of present studies. Most frequently, these are housekeeping genes …

Azospirillum spp. are plant-growth-promoting bacteria used worldwide as inoculants for a
variety of crops. Among the beneficial mechanisms associated with Azospirillum inoculation …

The turnover of cytoplasmic material by autophagic encapsulation and delivery to vacuoles
is essential for recycling cellular constituents, especially under nutrient-limiting conditions …

Plants are highly affected by salinity, but some plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) may
trigger induced systemic tolerance (IST), conferring protection against abiotic stresses. We …

The ability of plant somatic cells to dedifferentiate, form somatic embryos and regenerate
whole plants in vitro has been harnessed for both clonal propagation and as a key …

Fungal infection of grasses, including rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), and
barley (Hordeum vulgare), induces the formation and accumulation of flavonoid …

Gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) accumulates in plants following exposure to heavy
metals. To investigate the role of GABA in cadmium (Cd) tolerance and elucidate the …

Accurate and reliable gene expression data from qPCR depends on stable reference gene
expression for potential gene functional analyses. In this study, 15 reference genes were …
