Am. J. Enol. Vitic. 56:4 (2005) 400 Extraction of high-quality total RNA is essential for the successful application of many molecular techniques, such as reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RTPCR), cDNA library construction, and gene expression profiling studies using microarrays. RNA is degraded rapidly by ribonucleases (RNases) and, therefore, must be extracted quickly and efficiently (Sambrook et al. 1989). Denaturing reagents such as phenol (Davies and Robinson 1996) or guanidine thiocyanate (John 1992, Salzman et al. 1999) and inhibitors of RNases such as aurintricarboxylic acid (ATA) (Franke et al. 1995, Lewinsohn et al. 1994) are often added to extraction buffers. Extraction of high-quality RNA from the leaves of woody plants, such as grapevine, is particularly challenging because of high concentrations of polysaccharides, polyphenols, and other secondary metabolites (Loulakakis et al. 1996, Salzman et al. 1999). When applied to grape leaves, some RNA extraction methods yield pellets that are poorly soluble, indicating the presence of unknown contaminants, whereas others are gelatinous, indicating the presence of polysaccharides (Tesniere and Vayda 1991). Other procedures yield reddish pellets indicative of phenolic contamination (Bahloul and Burkard 1993, Katterman and Shattuck 1983). RNA can become complexed with polysaccharides and phenolic compounds (Bahloul and Burkard 1993, Lewinsohn et al. 1994, Salzman et al. 1999), particularly if chaotropic agents (Newbury and Possingham 1977) or vinyl-pyrrolidone polymers and antioxidants (Salzman et al. 1999) are not present in the extraction buffer. Polysaccharide and phenolic complexes render the RNA unusable for applications such as reverse transcription and cDNA library construction (Salzman et al. 1999). Whereas some standard procedures developed for model plant species, such as Arabidopsis and rice (for example, TRIzol, RNAwiz, RNeasy Plant), are very reliable, these methods are often inadequate when applied to leaves of Vitis vinifera. While several reports using recalcitrant plant tissues compared a few methods of RNA isolation (Logemann et al. 1987, Loulakakis et al. 1996, Tesniere and Vayda 1991), the scope of these comparisons was relatively limited. Logemann et al. (1987) compared six methods using various combinations of cetyltrimethylTechnical Brief Comparison of Methods for Isolating High-Quality RNA from Leaves of Grapevine

DNA extraction from plant tissues often causes most problems. For example, unsuccessful removal secondary metabolites during extraction, such as phenolic compounds in aromatic and medicinal plants, cause to some mistakes in result of molecular experiments by using of the extracted DNA. Achillea wilhelmsii is a medicinal plant belong to Asteraceae family and native to Iran, there is little infor...
متن کاملEvaluation of five protocols for DNA extraction from leaves of Malus sieversii, Vitis vinifera, and Armeniaca vulgaris.
Leaves of Malus sieversii, Vitis vinifera, and Armeniaca vulgaris contain substantial amounts of secondary metabolites, which limit the high-quality DNA extraction performance. In this study, five extraction protocols were compared for their ability to produce good quality DNA from fresh and dried (with silica gel) leaves of these species. The modified protocol of Dellaporta et al., using polyv...
متن کاملThe challenge of getting a high quality of RNA from oocyte for gene expression study
The extraction of intact RNA from oocyte is quite challenging and time-consuming. A standard protocol using commercial RNA extraction kit, yields a low quantity of RNA in oocytes. In the past, several attempts in getting RNA for gene expression study ended up with a few different modified methods. Extraction of high-quality RNA from oocyte is important before further downstream analyses such as...
متن کاملIsolation of high-quality RNA from a wide range of woody plants
Isolation of high-quality RNA is one of the most crucial methods in molecular biology. RNA extraction from woody plants has been problematic due to the presence of rigid and woody tissues, large amounts of polysaccharides, polyphenols and other secondary metabolites. Here we present a suitable protocol for RNA isolation from a wide range of woody plants that includes eight gymnosperms and four ...

A graft-transmissible disease displaying red veins, red blotches and total reddening of leaves in red-berried wine grape (Vitis vinifera L.) cultivars was observed in commercial vineyards. Next-generation sequencing technology was used to identify etiological agent(s) associated with this emerging disease, designated as grapevine redleaf disease (GRD). High quality RNA extracted from leaves of ...
