According to the NormFinder analysis of gene expression in leaves, xylem tissues and among species, the stability values of the 15 genes studied were <0.138, with error bars no greater than 0.044 ( Fig. 3C ; Table 3 ). When we analyzed the gene expression in all tissues/organs and species, the stability value was in the range between 0.017 and 0.106, proving again that all genes elected are good references for RT-qPCR studies in Eucalyptus. By RT-qPCR, the expression stability of eight of the 50 best candidate genes selected by SAM and SDMA was addressed in different organs (leaves and flowers) and vascular tissues (xylem) derived from six species of Eucalyptus. ./cache/cord-345475-ttrcmtu4.txt ./txt/cord-345475-ttrcmtu4.txt
