摘要
MicroRNA (miRNA) expression analysis is very important for investigating its functions. To date, no research on reference genes (RGs) for miRNAs in gymnosperms, including Cryptomeria fortunei, has been reported. Here, ten miRNAs (i.e., pab-miR159a, cln-miR162, cas-miR166d, pab-miR395b, ppt-miR894, cln-miR6725, novel1, novel6, novel14 and novel16) and three common RGs (U6, 5S and 18S) were selected as candidate RGs. qRT-PCR was used to analyse their expressions in C. fortunei under various experimental conditions, including multiple stresses (cold, heat, drought, salt, abscisic acid and gibberellin) and in various tissues (roots, stems, tender needles, cones and seeds). Four algorithms (delta Ct, geNorm, NormFinder and BestKeeper) were employed to assess the stability of candidate RG expression; the geometric mean and RefFinder program were used to comprehensively evaluate RG stability. According to the results, novel16, cln-miR6725, novel1 and U6 were the most stable RGs for studying C. fortunei miRNA expression. In addition, the expression of three target miRNAs (aly-miR164c-5p, aly-miR168a-5p and smo-miR396) was examined to verify that the selected RGs are suitable for miRNA expression normalisation. This study may aid further investigations of miRNA expression/function in the response of C. fortunei to abiotic stress and provides an important basis for the standardisation of miRNA expression in other gymnosperm species.
