| RNA extraction from recalcitrant plant tissues is frequently complicated by the presence of secondary metabolites, polysaccharides and polyphenols. These compounds may co precipitate with RNA, often rendering it unsuitable for either cDNA synthesis or hybridization in northern blot analyses and therefore, interfering with the gene analysis expression in such tissues. We have developed an efficient RNA extraction method from A. mexicana tissues. The procedure includes the use of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone (PVPP), to remove secondary metabolites, proteins and polyphenols, and a two-step precipitation with LiCl, to eliminate polysaccharides, and thus increasing RNA yield. The quality of the resulting RNA was evaluated spectrophotometrically and by agarose gel... |

| RNA extraction from mangrove tissues can be difficult due to the presence of polyphenolic and polysaccharide compounds upon cell disruption. Besides, a successful RNA isolation from mangrove tissues sometimes can be strain and species specific. Two different methods were used to extract RNA from tissues (stems, leaves and roots) of black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) and white mangrove (Laguncularia racemosa), collected from the mangrove area at Progreso, Yucatan, Mexico. An optimized and modified total RNA isolation method was developed for these recalcitrant species. The protocol is based on the CTAB method including β-mercaptoethanol and PVPP with sequential Phenol/Chloroform/isoamyl alcohol extractions to remove protein, and polyphenols,... |
