Easy Method for RNA Isolation from the Ripe Banana (Trizol method) for Expression Profiling

Mritunjay Kumar Singh ^[3] | Mridula Sharma

Abstract: RNA is a nucleic acid which is most unstable than DNA and very complicated to isolate from the plant material which is rich in polyphenols and secondary metabolites. Banana which have high level of polysaccharides, polyphenols and secondary metabolites due to which the isolation of RNA from banana is a difficult task. There is so much work has been done for the isolation RNA from the ripe banana. Hence there is a method through which we can isolate the high quality amount of the RNA for the further molecular biology aspects.
