摘要
We present a fast and simple protocol for purification of mitochondrial DNA and RNA from small amounts of potato tissue including tubers, leaves, flowers, and flower buds. This method uses a high ionic strength medium to isolate mitochondria and extract mitochondrial DNA and RNA from a single preparation and is easily adaptable to other plant species. The mitochondrial DNA was not contaminated by plastid DNA, was fully restrictable and was successfully used for PCR, cloning and Southern analyses. Similarly, the isolated mitochondrial RNA was not contaminated (flower buds) or only slightly contaminated (leaves) by plastid RNA. RNA prepared according to our method was acceptable for northern and RT-PCR analyses.
