Selection and Validation of qRT-PCR Internal Reference Genes to Study Flower Color Formation in <i<Camellia impressinervis</i<

Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) is a pivotal technique for gene expression analysis. To ensure reliable and accurate results, the internal reference genes must exhibit stable expression across varied experimental conditions. Currently, no internal reference genes for <i<Camellia impressinervis</i< have been established. This study aimed to identify stable internal reference genes from eight candidates derived from different developmental stages of <i<C. impressinervis</i< flowers. We employed geNorm, NormFinder, and BestKeeper to evaluate the expression stability of these candidates, which was followed by a comprehensive stability analysis. The results indicated that <i<CiTUB</i<, a tubulin gene, exhibited the most stable expression among the eight reference gene candidates in the petals. Subsequently, <i<CiTUB</i< was utilized as an internal reference for the qRT-PCR analysis of six genes implicated in the petal pigment synthesis pathway of <i<C. impressinervis</i<. The qRT-PCR results were corroborated by transcriptome sequencing data, affirming the stability and suitability of <i<CiTUB</i< as a reference gene. This study marks the first identification of stable internal reference genes within the entire genome of <i<C. impressinervis</i<, establishing a foundation for future gene expression and functional studies. Identifying such stable reference genes is crucial for advancing molecular research on <i<C. impressinervis</i<..
