Identification and characterisation of blue light photoreceptor gene family and their expression in tomato () under cold stress.

The Arabidopsis thaliana L. photoreceptor genes homologues in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) genome were analysed using bioinformatic tools.

Identification and validation of superior housekeeping gene(s) for qRT-PCR data normalization in (a CAM-plant) under abiotic stresses.

The adaptive mechanisms in Agave species enable them to survive and exhibit remarkable tolerance to abiotic stresses. Quantitative real-time PCR is a highly reliable approach for validation of targeted differential gene expression. However, stable housekeeping gene(s) is prerequisite for accurate normalization of expression data by qRT-PCR.
