چکیده مقاله:

Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four angiosperms. The method is based on the CTAB protocol which was modified by adding sodium citrate and two helper buffers. Agarose gel electrophoresis showed a good RNA integrity and total RNA profile that includes all expected RNA bands. Also, DNA and protein contaminations were not observed. Spectrophotometric quantification of RNA samples by NanoDrop showed that the average RNA yields ranged from 35.68 to 216.98 µg per gram fresh weight, that is enough to proceed into cDNA synthesis and other RNA-related works. Both the A260/A280 and A260/A230 ratios were in the desired ranges, indicating that RNA was of high purity and without protein, polyphenol, and polysaccharide contamination. The efficiency of isolated RNA for downstream applications was verified by real-time PCR and successful amplification of a long cDNA. Finally, some advantages and possible applications of the method are also mentioned.

RNA isolation from loquat and other recalcitrant woody plants with high quality and yield.

RNA isolation is difficult in plants that contain large amounts of polysaccharides and polyphenol compounds. To date, no commercial kit has been developed for the isolation of high-quality RNA from tissues with these characteristics, especially for fruit. The common protocols for RNA isolation are tedious and usually result in poor yields when applied to recalcitrant plant tissues. Here an effi...

The challenge of getting a high quality of RNA from oocyte for gene expression study

The extraction of intact RNA from oocyte is quite challenging and time-consuming. A standard protocol using commercial RNA extraction kit, yields a low quantity of RNA in oocytes. In the past, several attempts in getting RNA for gene expression study ended up with a few different modified methods. Extraction of high-quality RNA from oocyte is important before further downstream analyses such as...
