A Method for Efficient Extraction of Total RNA from Seeds of Sunflower Induced by Space Flight

Objective：To obtain total RNA with high quality from sunflower seeds induced by space flight.Methods：The grind powders in liquid nitrogen were transferred into extraction buffer containing SDS with equal volume of chloroform for extraction,and then extracted by acidic phenol,followed by precipitation overnight by LiCl.After digested by DNaseⅠ,polysaccharide was removed by precipitation with 1/2 volume of absolute ethanol,and finally the total RNA was precipitated with 1/10 volume of NaAc and 2 volume of absolute ethanol.The yield and purity of the total RNA was tested by electrophoresis and spectrophotometry,and its quality was identified by RT-PCR.Results：The electrophoretic bands of the extracted RNA were clear.The D260nm/D230nm and D260nm/D280nm ratio for total RNA were 2.09 and 2.00 respectively.And the yield of RNA was 35.30 μg/100 mg.Fragment of actin gene could be amplified by RT-PCR from the extracted total RNA.Conclusion：Total RNA extracted by the modified method was of high purity and integrity,and could be used for further molecular s
