A modified protocol for total RNA isolation from forage peanuts
Keywords:
Total RNA extraction, high yield, high quality, secondary metabolitesAbstract
The development of specific protocols for extraction of high-quality RNA are key advances in molecular techniques for elucidating biological processes and mechanisms. The forage peanut has significant economic value for use in mixed pastures. However, it is difficult to extract high-quality RNA from forage peanuts due to high contents of tannins, polysaccharides, and other secondary metabolites. Here, it is described an efficient method for obtaining high-quality, high-yield total RNA that is usable in downstream transcriptome analysis. This modifications helped eliminate the problems associated with the presence of high concentrations of secondary metabolites in forage peanut leaves, and lacked signs of degradation.
