In summary, we have adapted the CTAB method to the extraction of LMW RNA from polysaccharide-rich plant tissues. LMW RNA obtained by the method presented is pure and intact, and can be loaded in large amount in denaturing PAGE. Thus, it can be used for siRNA detection and miRNA expression analysis by northern blotting, and to produce small RNA libraries from plant organs, such as fruits and seeds, in which the role of these small RNA molecules has been, thus far, little explored.

Abstract

In summary, we have adapted the CTAB method to the extraction of LMW RNA from polysaccharide-rich plant tissues. LMW RNA obtained by the method presented is pure and intact, and can be loaded in large amount in denaturing PAGE. Thus, it can be used for siRNA detection and miRNA expression analysis by northern blotting, and to produce small RNA libraries from plant organs, such as fruits and seeds, in which the role of these small RNA molecules has been, thus far, little explored.
