  1. Prepare RNA mix in PCR tube • 1 µg RNA • 1 µl Random primer/poly dT mix • 1 µl 10 mM dNTP • Water to 12 µl • Leave 5’ @ 65˚ C, then chill to 4˚ C • Add • 4 µl 5x first strand buffer • 2 µl 100 mM DTT • 1 µl RNAse inhibitor • Leave > 2’ @ RT • Add 1 µl Superscript III • Leave 10’ @ 25 ˚ C, then 50’ @ 42 ˚ C • Inactivate by leaving 15’ @ 70˚ C • Use 1 µl for PCR with gene-specific primers

  2. Set up master mix for each primer combo on ice! • 1.1 µl 100x F primer (1 pMol/µl = 1µM final []) • 1.1 µl 100x R primer • 11 µl 10x PCR buffer • 2.2 µl 10 mM dNTP (200 µM final []) • 88.4 µl water • 0.7 µl Taq polymerase • Primers are • corn SOD or PEPC • Rice OEE or PHYA • Arabidopsis Actin and Aromatic Acid Decarboxylase • Add 19 µl to 1 µl correct cDNAs, 19 µl to 1 µl correct genomic DNA, 19 µl to 1 µl no template cDNA and 19 µl to 1 µl water • Run 30 cycles of 15” @ 94, 50-1”/cycle @ 50, 15” @ 72
