Cowpea and abiotic stresses: identification of reference genes for transcriptional profiling by qPCR

Abstract Background Due to cowpea ability to fix nitrogen in poor soils and relative tolerance to drought and salt stresses, efforts have been directed to identifying genes and pathways that confer stress tolerance in this species. Real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) has been widely used as the most r...
