Cross-species stability of reference genes in medicinal plants Arnica montana and Arnica chamissonis by Sozoniuk Magdalena, Czapla Karolina, Sugier Danuta, Kowalczyk Krzysztof

“…After evaluating their expression stability with four distinct algorithms (geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper and delta Ct method), we found that SKIP16 and F-box were the most stable reference genes in A. montana, whereas SAND and F-box were best-performing genes in A. chamissonis. On the other hand, ACT1 in combination with F-box could be used as internal control for cross-species investigations. …”
