Potato cyst nematodes induce changes in plant host gene expression following root invasion. For an accurate comparison of gene expression by reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR), internal reference genes are necessary for transcript normalization. Very few experimental data on suitable reference genes are available for...

The Ma gene for root-knot nematode (RKN) resistance from Myrobalan plum (Prunus cerasifera L.) confers a complete-spectrum and a heat-stable resistance to Meloidogyne spp., conversely to Mi-1 from tomato, which has a more restricted spectrum and a reduced efficiency at high temperature. This gene was identified from a perennial...

Potato cyst nematodes induce changes in gene expression after infecting the roots. For studying gene expression, reverse transcription quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) is now a standard method. However, for accurate quantication of transcripts, a set of internal control genes, stable under different experimental conditions, is necessary for...
