[Selection and validation of internal reference genes for qPCR in Polygonatum cyrtonema tubers at different development stages and in response to abiotic stress].

In order to analyze the expression of genes involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis pathway in Polygonatum cyrtonema tubers, it is very important to select internal reference genes that are stably expressed at different development stages and in response to abiotic stress. According to the previously established P. cyrtonema transcriptome database and reported internal reference genes in plant, this study systematically analyzed eight candidate internal reference genes including histone H2 A, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, ACTIN, β-tubulin, ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme-E2-10, elongation factor 1-alpha isoform, 18 S rRNA and α-tubulin 4 for expression stability in P.

[Transcriptome analysis of rhizome of Polygonatum cyrtonema and identification of candidate genes involved in biosynthetic pathway of steroidal saponin].

To enrich the transcriptome data in rhizome of Polygonatum cyrtonema seedlings, identify candidate functional genes involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis and provide genetic resources for the research on anabolism pathway and regulatory mechanism of active components in P. cyrtonema, Illumina platform was applied to perform transcriptomic sequencing of rhizome of P. cyrtonema, followed by a series of bioinformatics analysis on RNA-seq data, including de novo assembly, annotation, classification and metabolic pathway analysis of the assembled unigene.

Effects of 60-day NO2 fumigation on growth, oxidative stress and antioxidative response in Cinnamomum camphora seedlings.

Objective: To study the oxidative stress and antioxidative response of Cinnamomum camphora seedlings exposed to nitrogen dioxide (NO(2)) fumigation.

Methods: Measurements were made up of the growth, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence, antioxidant system and lipid peroxidation of one-year-old C. camphora seedlings exposed to NO(2) (0.
