Identification and validation of reference genes in vetiver (Chrysopogon zizanioides) root transcriptome.

ABSTRACT: Vetiver [Vetiveria zizanioides (L.) Roberty] is a perennial C-4 grass traditionally valued for its aromatic roots/root essential oil. Owing to its deep penetrating web-forming roots, the grass is now widely used across the globe for phytoremediation and the conservation of soil and water. This study has used the transcriptome data of vetiver roots in its two distinct geographic morphotypes (North Indian type A and South Indian type B) for reference gene(s) identification. Further, validation of reference genes using various abiotic stresses such as heat, cold, salt, and drought was carried out. The de novo assembly based on differential genes analysis gave 1,36,824 genes (PRJNA292937). Statistical tests like RefFinder, NormFinder, BestKeeper, geNorm, and Delta-Ct software were appli
