Expression Characterization of Six Genes Possibly Involved in Gonad Development for Stellate Sturgeon Individuals (Acipenser stellatus, Pallas 1771)

Table 2

The 2−ΔCq of each gene. The arithmetic mean of gapdh and β-actin reference genes was used for normalization. The values are represented by arithmetic means ± SD. One-way ANOVA was used to compare gene expression levels of males versus females for the same organ. NS: not significant.
