摘要: Real-time, or quantitative, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), is a powerful method for rapid and reliable quantification of mRNA abundance. Although it has not featured prominently in flower development research the past, availability novel techniques synchronized induction development, isolation cell-specific populations, suggests that detailed quantitative analyses gene expression over time specific tissues cell types by qRT-PCR will become more widely used. In this chapter, we discuss considerations studying using qRT-PCR, such as identification suitable reference genes experimental setup addition, provide protocols performing experiments multiwell plate format (with LightCycler(®) 480 system, Roche) with nanofluidic arrays (BioMark™ Fluidigm), which allow automatic combination sets samples assays, significantly reduce volume number liquid-handling steps performed during experiment.
