Popis: High-throughput nucleic acid extraction is critical for the implementation of modern viroid detection assays. Successful large-scale nursery, field surveys, and other regulatory, quarantine, or research diagnostic programs are increasingly dependent on high-throughput tissue pulverization and nucleic acid extraction protocols. Magnetic bead-based approaches using semi-automated robotic equipment allow high-throughput extraction and purification of high-quality uniform total nucleic acids for each individual sample. Here, we describe a streamlined and optimized protocol for citrus tissue processing and RNA extraction that can be used for downstream applications such as viroid detection by reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.
