A protocol is described for rapid RNA isolation from various plant species and tissues rich in polyphenolics and polysaccharides. The method is based on the Nucleon PhytoPure system without the use of phenol. The procedure can be completed within 1 h and many samples can be processed at the same time. The yield ranged from 240 μg up to 3 mg per gram of tissue with an average purity measured as A260/280 of 1.85. The RNA was of sufficient quality for use in RT-PCR reactions. Quantitation of single-stranded cDNA was carried out with the RiboGreen reagent and of PCR products with the PicoGreen reagent.
