The analysis of reference genes expression stability in susceptible and resistant Apera spica-venti populations under herbicide treatment.

ABSTRACT: Weed resistance to herbicides constitutes a serious problem to world crop production. One of the weeds that are significantly threatening the crops' yield and quality is Apera spica-venti. The target-site resistance (TSR) mechanism of A. spica-venti has been widely studied, though, little is known about its non-target-site resistance (NTSR) mechanisms at the molecular level. Molecular examination of NTSR is, to a great extent, based on the expression profiles of selected genes, e.g. those participating in detoxification. However, to obtain reliable results of gene expression analysis, the use of a normalizer is required. The aim of this study was to select the best reference genes in A. spica-venti plants of both populations, susceptible and resistant to ALS inhibitor, under treatment with
