Project description:Six different Solanaceae species, Potato (Solanum tuberosum), Tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum), Pepper (Capsicum annuum), Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), Petunia and Nicotiana benthamiana were grown at 25C, 16h light and 8h darkness. Mature leaves were harvested after 4-6 weeks. RNA was isolated using Qiagen RNeasy. Tomato, pepper, petunia tobacco and N. benthamiana samples were hybridized against potato samples.

Project description:To diversify the pool of reliable reference genes in tobacco, the expression stability of 44,873 tobacco genes (ESTs) were measured using a custom-designed microarray in a diverse set of 21 samples, representing various tissue types and developmental stages. A total of 14 genes were selected as candidate reference genes because they appeared to be the most stable. These genes were compared with two widely used housekeeping genes (L25 and EF-1a) for further validation by qRT-PCR
