摘      要：Leopard coral groupers(Plectropomus leopardus),commercially bred in South China,are a significant economical fish *** this study,by means of quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR)technology,we assessed the stability of six common reference genes expression and selected the appropriate reference genes in leopard coral groupers with or without Vibrio harveyi stimulation at different time *** data produced by qRT-PCR was handled via the geNorm,NormFinder,and BestKeeper *** results revealed all the examined reference genes had manifest tissue-specific expression in different *** to *** stimulation,RPL13 gene was the appropriate reference gene among eleven tissue types(blood,spleen,hepatopancreas,kidney,stomach,gill,heart,skin,muscle,intestine,brain)in leopard coral *** *** stimulation,the most reliable reference genes varied from tissue to tissue and were closely hinged upon different time *** 6-h post-bacterial injection,the appropriate reference genes in hepatopancreas,spleen,kidney,and gill were Actin,B2M,UBCE,and Actin,*** 9-and 12-h post-bacterial injection,the appropriate reference genes in hepatopancreas,spleen,kidney,and gill were RPL13,Actin,Actin,and Actin,*** one reference gene was preferable,RPL13,Actin,Actin,and Actin could be selected as the reference gene in hepatopancreas,spleen,kidney,and gill of leopard coral groupers after *** infection,*** profiles of two target genes(IL-6 and NK-lysin)were used to further validate reliability of these selected appropriate *** study will lay a solid foundation for the future research on qRTPCR analysis of gene expression in leopard coral groupers.
