“…Despite its importance, research on long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) in O. fragrans has been constrained by the absence of reliable reference genes (RGs).MethodsWe employed five distinct algorithms, i.e., delta-Ct, NormFinder, geNorm, BestKeeper, and RefFinder, to evaluate the expression stability of 17 candidate RGs across various experimental conditions.Results and discussionThe results indicated the most stable RG combinations under different conditions as follows: cold stress: lnc00249739 and lnc00042194; drought stress: lnc00042194 and lnc00174850; salt stress: lnc00239991 and lnc00042194; abiotic stress: lnc00239991, lnc00042194, lnc00067193, and lnc00265419; ABA treatment: lnc00239991 and 18S; MeJA treatment: lnc00265419 and lnc00249739; ethephon treatment: lnc00229717 and lnc00044331; hormone treatments: lnc00265419 and lnc00239991; Al3+ treatment: lnc00087780 and lnc00265419; Cu2+ treatment: lnc00067193 and 18S; Fe2+ treatment: lnc00229717 and ACT7; metal ion treatment: lnc00239991 and lnc00067193; flowering stage: lnc00229717 and RAN1; different tissues: lnc00239991, lnc00042194, lnc00067193, TUA5, UBQ4, and RAN1; and across all samples: lnc00239991, lnc00042194, lnc00265419 and UBQ4. …”
