Housekeeping genes from a previous B. tabaci transcriptomic study [29] (link) were selected as candidate reference genes including β-actin (Actin), 18S rRNA (18S), heat shock protein (HSP20, HSP40, HSP70, HSP90), γ-tubulin, 60S ribosomal protein L29 (RPL29), succinate dehydrogenase complex subunit A (SDHA), flavoprotein, glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), elongation factor 1 alpha (EF-1α), peptidylprolyl isomeraseA (PPIA), NADH dehydrogenase (NADH), Myosin light chain (Myosin L), and adenosine triphosphate enzyme (ATPase). Primer 5.0 (http://www.premierbiosoft.com/) was used to design primers for qRT-PCR analysis. The validity of these candidate reference genes were evaluated under selected biotic and abiotic conditions described in the following sections.
