A small-scale method for the isolation of total RNA from plant tissue is described. The method provides RNA of suitable quantity and quality from 0.2 g fresh tissue for the detection of mRNA species by RNA blot analysis. The entire procedure is adapted to 1.5-ml microfuge tubes and takes less than 5

✦ Synopsis
We describe a modification of the Northern technique that allows the detection of RNA either native and/or containing hidden breaks. We found that the highest sensitivity of the hybridization signals was obtained after denaturation of the RNA in the gel prior to its transfer onto a nylon membrane (GeneScreen) followed by uv irradiation. The sensitivity of the method using native RNA was found to be equivalent to that obtained with denatured RNA. o 1986 Academic ~ss, 1~.

A simple method for mapping RNA on a Northern blot with a mixture of end-labeled DNA fragments is described. The DNA fragments are labeled either in 5' or in 3' directly after digestion by restriction enzyme(s) and used without any further purification step as probe to hybridize a Northern blot. Aft
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) has been a gene of choice in Northern blot analyses as an internal RNA loading control. We have investigated the expression of GAPDH and 28S-ribosomal RNA (28S rRNA) genes in mouse 10T1/2 cells and in a variety of tumorigenic and highly malignant meta
Interest in the biology of transfer RNA (tRNA) has led to the development of a large number of methods for preparative isolation and analytical characterization of different tRNA species such as countercurrent distribution between two phases (1)) partition chromatography (2)) chromatography on colum
