Self-incompatibility (SI) is one of the main reasons leading to the low fruit set of Camellia oleifera and limiting the yield of Camellia oil. It is important to uncover the molecular mechanism of SI for guiding production. Accurate quantification of the expression level of SI determinants is essential, which requires qRT-PCR technology and appropriate reference genes. However, the screening of SI-related reference genes in C. oleifera has not been reported. In this study, multiple transcriptome data were innovatively integrated and candidate reference genes of SI were systematically and rapid...
