Stable reference gene selection for quantitative real-time PCR normalization in passion fruit (Passiflora edulis Sims.).

In this study, we successfully screened stable reference genes from 10 candidates in P. edulis and verified the results by analyzing the expression level of ICE1. The results provide reliable and effective reference genes for future research on gene expression analysis in P. edulis, and lay a foundation for follow-up research on functional genes in P. edulis.
