The Roles of Hormone Signals Involved in Rhizosphere Pressure Response Induce Corm Expansion in .

Soil is the base for conventional plant growth. The rhizosphere pressure generated from soil compaction shows a dual effect on plant growth in agricultural production. Compacted soil leads to root growth stagnation and causes bending or thickening, thus affecting the growth of aboveground parts of plants.

Selection of Reliable Reference Genes for Gene Expression Normalization in .

Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is a method with high sensitivity and convenience that has been extensively used to analyze the expression level of target genes. A reference gene with a highly stable expression is required to ensure the accuracy of experimental results. However, the report on appropriate reference genes in arrowheads () is still limited.
