Table 5 Ranking of the reference gene candidates generated according to their stability values calculated by the geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, Delta-Ct, and RefFinder algorithms using the Cq (Cycle of Quantification) data obtained from stem, leaves, and leaf apex of eucalyptus inoculated with B. bassiana and plants infested with L. invasa.

From: Reference genes for Eucalyptus spp. under Beauveria bassiana inoculation and subsequently infestation by the galling wasp Leptocybe invasa
