No reports on isolating RNA from carbohydrate-rich wheat seeds have been published. Because of the presence of carbohydrates, published protocols yield small amounts of poor quality RNA. Extracting seeds in a buffer (pH 9, 150 mM NaCl, 1% sarcosyl) ensured maximum RNA solubility and the removal of most interfering substances. Extracted RNA was purified using a guanidine hydrochloride-based buffer system. This protocol yields up to 148 g of RNA from 100 mg of tissue in 3.5 h. An A260/A280 ratio of 1.85 indicates RNA purity. Isolated RNA was amenable to downstream applications such as differential display. The developed method was extended to other carbohydrate-rich seeds, such as barley and maize, with success.
