Background:

Accurate gene expression measurement is fundamental for plant biology.
Reference genes (RGs) are essential for normalizing gene expression data.
Spinacia oleracea (spinach) requires validated RGs for reliable molecular studies.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify and validate stable reference genes for gene expression analysis in Spinacia oleracea.
To ensure accurate normalization in studies of spinach development and physiology.
To provide reliable RGs for future molecular research in spinach.

Main Methods:

Screening of 1196 candidate genes using transcriptome data.
Statistical analysis of gene expression variability and stability.
Validation of candidate RGs using qRT-PCR and geNorm, NormFinder, BestKeeper, and RefFinder algorithms.

Main Results:

EF1α and H3 were identified as the most stable reference genes in Spinacia oleracea.
GRP and PPR showed lower stability across experimental conditions.
Systematic selection and validation confirmed the reliability of EF1α and H3.

Conclusions:

Validated reference genes (EF1α, H3) are critical for accurate gene expression studies in spinach.
This study provides a robust foundation for molecular research in Spinacia oleracea.
Ensuring proper RG selection advances understanding of plant development and physiological processes.
