Sample isolation and RNA extraction<br />

Banana fingers were collected and cut into small cubes.<br />

Immediately after cut, cubes were frozen in liquid nitrogen<br />

and placed in -80 o C freezer. Samples were then proceed for<br />

RNA isolation until step 8 (LiCl incubation at 4 o C) and<br />

transported to Indonesa.<br />

The samples were then proceed immediately after arrive in<br />

<strong>Indonesia</strong> (stored for about 7 hr in 4 o C after arrive, 0.30 am-<br />

7.30 am). The RNA extraction was finished on 24 Jan 08.<br />

The quality of RNA was analyzed using spectrophotometer<br />

and agarose gel. However, the ratios of A260/280 were around<br />

1.0. In addition, electrophoresis result showed that RNA <strong>from</strong><br />

sample was degraded. Next time, RNA isolation should be<br />

finished on site to minimize RNA degradation
