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 (G

β¦ Synopsis
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 h. This method is well suited for the isolation of RNA from large numbers of samples or from samples of limited quantity.

A microscale method for the isolation of selectively sealed microsomal membrane fractions from plant tissue is presented. The method is based on differential centrifugation in a table top microcentrifuge to accommodate small sample size (10-25 g tissue) and the addition of KI or KCl in the homogeniz
