摘要
Isolation of high quality RNA from Rosaceae species is particularly difficult. These plants contain considerable amounts of plant polyphenolic compounds and polysaccharides that copurify with RNA, often rendering it unsuitable for either cDNA synthesis and/or hybridization in northern analyses. We describe a method for RNA isolation from pear leaves that is modified from that of Manning (1990). The procedure includes i) an extraction with phenol and PVPP, to remove proteins and polyphenols ii) two purifications by LiCl, with a 2-butoxyethanol treatment between the LiCl steps. The method results in high quality RNA suitable for RT-PCR and northern blot experiments.
