The total RNA from tomato leaves was extracted with TRIzol Reagent (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The first-strand cDNA was synthesized from one microgram of total RNA using a reverse transcriptase system (Thermo, Beijing, China), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reactions were performed using the SYBR Mixture (Juheme) with an Applied Biosystems 7500 real-time PCR system (Applied Biosystems). The PCR assays were conducted with the following parameters: 95 °C for 30 s; 40 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 60 °C for 15 s, and 72 °C for 15 s. All of the primers that were used in the qRT-PCR analysis are listed in Additional file 4: Table S4, some of which came from the previous studies [24 (link), 38 (link)–40 (link)]. The tomato Actin2 gene was used as the internal control. The results were calculated using the 2−ΔΔCt method [41 (link)]. All of the qRT-PCR assays were conducted in three biological replicates and each biological replicate had three technical replicates.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
