Abstract: In this study, a Real-time PCR system was developed for detection of Keratin 26 (KRT26) gene expression difference of skin tissues in Superfine and fine Merino sheep using 18S rRNA,β-actin and GAPDH genes as internal control genes based on SYBR Green Ⅰ dying technique.The results showed that threshold cycle(Ct) of the standard curve displayed good linear relationship with the concentrations of standard cDNA in a certain range.Significant difference of KRT26 expression were observed in the skin tissues of different fineness of wool sheep, and the expression ratio between super-fine and fine wool was 1.5 when the 18S rRNA,β-actin and GAPDH were reference genes respectively. It might be sure the relationship with KRT26 and the wool fineness, and this might be provide a foundation for molecular breeding and improvement of the wool traits of sheep.
