Stable reference gene selection for Ophiocordyceps sinensis gene expression studies under different developmental stages and light-induced conditions.

ABSTRACT: The molecular mechanism of Chinese cordyceps formation has received a substantial amount of attention because of its usage as traditional Chinese medicine. The formation process of Chinese cordyceps includes two parts: asexual proliferation (Ophiocordyceps sinensis proliferates in the hemolymph of Thitarodes armoricanus larvae) and sexual development (formation and development of fruiting bodies). Therefore, validation of reference genes under different development stages and experimental conditions is crucial for RT-qPCR analysis. However, there is no report on stable reference genes at the development stage of O. sinensis fruiting body. In this study, 10 candidate reference genes, Actin, Cox5, Tef1, Ubi, 18s, Gpd, Rpb1, Try, Tub1 and Tub2, were selected and calculated their expression st
