[Abstract] Steady-state mRNA levels are determined by both the rates of transcription and degradation. Regulation of mRNA stability and/or degradation are key factors that can significantly affect mRNA levels and its biological functions. mRNA stability can be measured indirectly after transcription inhibition. This protocol described a rapid and sensitive ...
3’ Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends (3’ RACE) Using Arabidopsis Samples
[Abstract] Production of functional eukaryotic RNA is a very elaborate process that involves a complex interplay between transcription and various RNA processing activities, including splicing, 5’ capping, and 3’ cleavage and polyadenylation (Bentley, 2014). Accurate mapping of RNA ends provides a valuable tool to assess transcriptional and ...
Circular RT-PCR Assay Using Arabidopsis Samples
[Abstract] Post-transcriptional processing is critical for RNA biogenesis, in which conventional functional RNA transcripts are generated, such as messenger RNAs (mRNAs), transfer RNAs (tRNAs) and ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) for translation as well as emerging non-coding RNAs with known or unknown regulatory functions. To determine the precise termini of an RNA ...
Virus-induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) in Barley Seedling Leaves
[Abstract] Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is one of the most potent reverse genetics technologies for gene functional characterisation. This method exploits a dsRNA-mediated antiviral defence mechanism in plants. Using this method allows researchers to generate rapid phenotypic data in a relatively rapid time frame as compared to the generation of ...
Virus-induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) in Phalaenopsis Orchids
[Abstract] This is a protocol to produce stable silencing efficacy and efficiency for VIGS using CymMV as a silencing vector for floral functional genomics in Phalaenopsis orchids. This protocol is established based on a method created by Lu et al. (2007), and then modified by Hsieh et al. (2013a; 2013b), Lu et al. (2012) ...

[Abstract] Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful method to study gene function in plants. Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based VIGS vector is the most efficient VIGS vector so far. This method was originally developed by the Dinesh-Kumar's group (Liu et al., 2002) . Here, we describe a rapid and high efficient TRV-based VIGS method for ...
