Abstract

Three methods of RNA isolation were evaluated based on quality and quantity of the RNA isolated. The methods used for RNA isolation were CTAB-LiCl method, Direct-zol™ RNA MiniPrep (ZymoResearch), and TRIzol® reagent (Life Tech.). RNA quality was assessed using spectrophotometric methods, agarose gel electrophoresis and Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer. RNA isolation using modified CTAB-LiCl was found effective in extraction of sufficient quantity and high quality RNA from new leaves (617 μg/g FW), seedlings (636 μg/g FW) and flower buds (603 μg/g FW) having RNA integrity number (RIN) values of 8.5 each.
