Distribution of Cycle threshold (Cq) values for the candidate reference genes. Distribution of Cycle threshold (Cq) values for the candidate reference genes (n = 29 samples) obtained by qPCR. Data of the three replicates per sample were averaged and those of the two thermal treatments were pooled for each gene. Boxes show the range of Cq values within each gene; the centre line indicates de median; extended vertical bars show standard deviation of the mean.
