TI - A Method for Isolation of Total RNA from Fruit Tissues of Banana KW - BANANA KW - FRUIT TISSUE KW - MUSA SPP KW - RNA ISOLATION N2 - We describe a rapid and efficient method for isolation of total RNA from banana fruit tissues. The RNA was extracted with a high ionic strength buffer at room temperature. The proteins, genomic DNA and secondary metabolites in the extract were then removed by precipitation with pre-cooled potassium acetate and repeated phenol/chloroform/isoamyl alcohol extractions. The RNA was recovered by ethanol precipitation. It was relatively free of ribonucleases and was suitable for RT-PCR and northern blot analysis. The procedure can be completed in less than 4 hours UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HVf8nO4Kiuf_Ch4Aj_gDGAOWFi6jklgL/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
