          Abstract

          ABSTRACT The Straw Test is an assay developed to evaluate the resistance of common bean to white mold, in which the plant stems are inoculated and the symptoms of the disease are monitored. It is plausible to admit that investigating gene expression in pathogen-infected tissues may be strategically interesting. However, obtaining a quality RNA is a basic requirement for this purpose. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate adjustments in protocols of commercial kits in the expectation of improving the quality of RNA obtained from bean stems. For this, plants of two lines were inoculated and the stems pathogen-infected were collected 72 hours after. For RNA extraction, two commercial reagents were used following the manufacturer’s recommendations and then following adaptations in these protocols. In particular, the proposed modifications relate to volumes of supernatant recovered in purification steps, additional step of chloroform purification and extended time for nucleic acids precipitation. The obtained RNA was analyzed by spectrophotometer, electrophoresis and bioanalyzer, then converted into cDNA and subsequently submitted to PCR. From the obtained data, it was observed that the adaptations made in the protocols contributed to better results and that, when the indicative values of RNA quality are guaranteed, the subsequent reactions are more pure, precise and representative.

          RESUMO O Straw Test é um ensaio desenvolvido para avaliar a resistência do feijoeiro ao mofo branco, no qual as hastes da planta são inoculados e os sintomas da doença são monitorados. É plausível admitir que a investigação da expressão gênica em tecidos infectados por patógenos possa ser estrategicamente interessante. No entanto, obter um RNA de qualidade é um requisito básico para essa finalidade. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar ajustes em protocolos de kits comerciais na expectativa de melhorar a qualidade do RNA obtido a partir de hastes de feijão. Para tanto, plantas de duas linhagenslinees foram inoculadas e as hastes infectadas pelo patógeno foram coletadas após 72 horas. Para extração de RNA, dois reagentes comerciais foram utilizados inicialmente seguindo as recomendações do fabricante e seguindo as adaptações desses protocolos. Em especial, as modificações propostas referem-se aos volumes de sobrenadante recuperados nos passos de purificação, etapa adicional de purificação por clorofórmio e maior tempo para precipitação dos ácidos nucleicos. O RNA obtido foi analisado por espectrofotômetro, eletroforese e bioanalyzer, posteriormente convertido em cDNA e, por fim, submetido à PCR. A partir dos dados obtidos, observou-se que as adaptações feitas nos protocolos contribuíram para resultados melhores e que quando os valores indicativos de qualidade do RNA são garantidos, as reações subsequentes são mais puras, precisas e representativas.

            Isolation of high-quality RNA from gymnosperm and angiosperm trees.

            An improved protocol was developed for efficient and reliable extraction of high-quality total RNA and mRNA from various tissues of spruce (Picea spp.) and poplar (Populus spp.) trees, as well as other plant species. This method was specifically optimized for tissues with high content of polysaccharides, oleoresin terpenoids, and phenolic secondary metabolites, which often co-precipitate with RNA and inhibit subsequent reverse transcription. The improved protocol yielded up to 600 micrograms of total RNA per gram of tissue suitable for standard expressed sequence tags (ESTs), full-length cDNA library construction, and for microarray applications.

              Modified CTAB and TRIzol protocols improve RNA extraction from chemically complex Embryophyta1

              Premise of the study: Here we present a series of protocols for RNA extraction across a diverse array of plants; we focus on woody, aromatic, aquatic, and other chemically complex taxa. Methods and Results: Ninety-one taxa were subjected to RNA extraction with three methods presented here: (1) TRIzol/TURBO DNA-free kits using the manufacturer’s protocol with the addition of sarkosyl; (2) a combination method using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and TRIzol/sarkosyl/TURBO DNA-free; and (3) a combination of CTAB and QIAGEN RNeasy Plant Mini Kit. Bench-ready protocols are given. Conclusions: After an iterative process of working with chemically complex taxa, we conclude that the use of TRIzol supplemented with sarkosyl and the TURBO DNA-free kit is an effective, efficient, and robust method for obtaining RNA from 100 mg of leaf tissue of land plant species (Embryophyta) examined. Our protocols can be used to provide RNA of suitable stability, quantity, and quality for transcriptome sequencing.
