摘要
We describe here a reliable high-throughput method for extraction of RNA from fresh or frozen plant tissue that obviates laborious and time-consuming homogenisation by mortar and pestle. The method is based on homogenisation by high-speed reciprocal shaking in presence of a mixture of inexpensive abrasive materials; i.e., quartz sand and glass beads. After homogenisation, the method follows a standard procedure for RNA extraction by phenol/LiCl. Yield and quality of RNA obtained by homogenisation with the sand/glass bead mix are identical to those obtained by mortar and pestle.
