The expression levels of seven reference genes cyclophilin (CYP), cathepsin (CtP), actin (ACT), glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), elongation factor 1 alpha (EF1 alpha), beta-tubulin (TUB), and ADP ribosylation factor (ADP) during drought stress were tested using geNorm and NormFinder programs. Results from four experimental conditions indicated that EF1 alpha and ADP were the most stable reference genes. Relative expression levels of Delta 1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS) was used for reference gene validation. aCyclophilins aPlant selection guides aQuantitative polymerase chain reaction aWater stress1 aCAMPOS, M.
