Abstract: Background: Real-time reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) has greatly improved the ease and sensitivity of quantitative gene expression studies. However, accurate measurement of gene expression with this method relies on the choice of a valid reference for data normalization. Studies rarely verify that gene expression levels for reference genes are adequately consistent among the samples used, nor compare alternative genes to assess which are most reliable for the experimental conditions analyzed.

“…Tuba1, encoding cytoskeletal protein, has long been attributed to having major roles in setting up the scaffolding needed to elaborate new neurites and to enable transport of organelles within the neurites. Tuba1 was identified as being stably expressed across various developmental stages of soybean (Jian et al 2008) and different tissues of poplar (Brunner et al 2004). Tuba1 was recognized as the most stable gene in the four tissues (including spleen, heart, muscle, and gill) in Japanese flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus (Temminck et Schlegel, 1846) (see Zheng and Sun 2011).…”

“…This gene was present in a single copy in the soybean genome, but it is not necessarily constitutive. If its expression shows variations, relative quantification would be difficult (Brunner et al, 2004;Czechowski et al, 2005). However, it could still be used as a reference to provide the number of copies of the genome.…”

“…Jain et al (2006) showed that the best genes in various tissue samples from rice (Oryza sativa) were those encoding ubiquitin 5 and elongation factor-1 alpha. Genes that encode the proteins GAPDH (Wall & Edwards, 2002), ÎČ-actin (Kreuzer et al, 1999), tubulin (Brunner et al, 2004) or RNAr18S have been used for other species (Bhatia et al, 2002).…”

“…The suitability of individual ‘reference genes’ as internal RT-PCR controls for a specific experimental design can be tested with various approaches, including methods of overall variance [3], ANOVA models [4], Bayesian models [5] and equivalence testing [6, 7]. More recently, genome-wide expression technologies have been recognized as an effective tool for the identification and evaluation of endogenous RT-PCR controls [8, 9].…”
