The green mirid bug Cyrtorhinus lividipennis (Hemiptera: Miridae), known as a predator, plays an important role in modulating the population density of planthoppers and leafhoppers in rice ecosystem. To understand the molecular mechanisms underlying many physiological processes of C. lividipennis research on gene expression are required, and reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is the most commonly used method to quantify the expression of target genes. However, there are no previous reports on reliable reference genes in C. lividipennis. Here, we evaluated the stability of eight candidate reference genes (RPL32, beta-Tub, SDHA, RPL9, GAPDH, EF1 alpha, beta-Act and alpha-Act) under different conditions with five algorithms (Delta Ct method, BestKeeper, GeNorm, NormFinder and RefFinder). Results have indicated that RPL32 and RPL9 are suitable reference genes across nymphal stages, RPL32 and RPL9 are the suggested reference genes in different developmental stages of adult females, RPL32, RPL9 and beta-Tub are suitable reference genes for all developmental stages, beta-Tub, GAPDH, RPL9 and beta-Act are reliable reference genes in different tissues of 5th instar females, EF1 alpha, RPL9, RPL32 and beta-Tub are stable reference genes in different tissues of one-day-old adult females, beta-Tub, EF1 alpha, RPL9, RPL32 and beta-Act are suitable reference genes in all samples. These results highlight the importance of identifying reference genes under different experimental treatments. Our study will facilitate further phylogenetic and physiological mechanism research at the transcriptional level in C. lividipennis.
