Implemented by: Sarah Covshoff, Rowan Sage and Julian HibberdThis RNA isolation method is a multi-component method involving an initial extraction by hotacid phenol and then a purification and DNase treatment using the RNeasy Mini Kit by Qiagen.The method described below is a modification of a method described by van Tunen et al.3.This protocol is part of a collection of eighteen protocols used to isolate total RNA from plant tissue.
