The invention relates to an extraction method for a
South American wedelia chinensis total ribonucleic acid (
RNA) and belongs to the technical field of
biology. The method includes
grinding a fresh
South American wedelia chinensis material to be fine powders by
liquid nitrogen, performing a warm bath at the temperature of 65DEG C for 30 minutes, adding equivoluminal chloroforms and evenly mixing, centrifuging at the low temperature of 4DEG C, subjecting an obtained mixture to a
precipitation by adding a lithum
chloride solution, centrifuging, abandoning supernatant, dissolving the
precipitation by
tellurium, adding equivoluminal chloroforms, centrifuging, extracting the supernatant to a new
centrifuge tube, adding
diethyl ether, centrifuging, extracting the supernatant, repeating a
diethyl ether operation for two times, adding natrium aceticum and absolute ethyl
alcohol for precipitating the
RNA, centrifuging, abandoning supernatant, washing the
RNA by 70% of
ethanol to obtain the
precipitation,
drying the obtained precipitation at the
room temperature, dissolving by aseptic diethylpyrocarbonate (DEPC) water, and preserving for a reservation at the temperature of 80 DEG C below zero. According to the extraction method for the
South American wedelia chinensis total ribonucleic acid (RNA), the experiment processes are simple, the demands for equipment and experiment conditions are low, the result is accurate, effective, the
repeatability is good, and the method has an important guiding and practical significance for extracting the
total RNA of
plant tissues which are rich in
phenols and polysaccharides.
