+<p><strong>RNA Sample Processing:</strong></p>
+
+<p>Trizol RNA isolation and RNeasy clean up protocol for whole plants (embryo-derived tissue dissected from 4 days old germinating grains) and the seedling leaves (12 days after planting).</p>
+
+<p><br />
+☐ Grind tissue (9 embryos) with a mortar and pestle in liquid nitrogen<br />
+☐ Add 5 ml TRIzol (pre-heated to 60oC) to all samples, vortex until all the tissue is thawed, place in the 60oC waterbath..<br />
+☐ Incubate samples at 60oC for 10 minutes, vortexing three times.<br />
+☐ Centrifuge @ 4000 x rpm @ 4C for 30 minutes (in Eppendorf 5810R).<br />
+☐ While centrifuging, label new set of 15 ml tubes<br />
+☐ Transfer supernatant to 15 ml centrifuge tube<br />
+☐ Add 1 ml of chloroform. Vortex the sample until color shade is uniform at least 5<br />
+seconds, and incubate at room temperature for 5 minutes.<br />
+☐ Centrifuge @ 4000 x rpm for 30 minutes @ 4oC.<br />
+☐ While centrifuging, label new 15 ml tubes<br />
+☐ Collect the upper aqueous layer (there will be about 3 mls) and transfer to a new 15 ml tube.<br />
+☐ Add 0.6 volumes (2 ml) of isopropanol, mix gently, incubate at room temperature for 20 minutes.<br />
+☐ Centrifuge @ 4000 rpm for 30 minutes @ 4oC.<br />
+☐ Wash the pellet with 10 ml of cold 75% ethanol. Swirl &amp; centrifuge at<br />
+4000 rpm for 15 minutes @ 4oC.<br />
+☐ Discard supernatant, centrifuge for 5 min, remove the rest of the ethanol<br />
+☐ Air-dry the pellet for 10 minutes, inverted on a kimwipe.<br />
+☐ Dissolve pellet in 400 ul of DEPC-treated H2O. Resuspend by pipeting up &amp; down a<br />
+few times.<br />
+☐ Add 2 ul SuperaseIn. Incubate at 60oC for 10 minutes to resuspend.<br />
+☐ Set water bath to 37oC.<br />
+☐ Add 50 ul 10X DnaseI Buffer, 45 ul H2O and 5 ul of DnaseI, incubate at 37oC for 1 hr.<br />
+☐ Prepare Buffer RLT (Rneasy Clean-up Midi Kit) by adding b-mercaptoethanol (10ul/1ml RLT).<br />
+☐ Add 2.0 ml Buffer RLT to the RNA prep and mix thoroughly.<br />
+☐ Add 1.4 ml ethanol (96-100%) to the diluted RNA. Mix thoroughly.<br />
+☐ Label 15 ml tubes from the kit and place midi columns in them<br />
+☐ Apply sample to a Midi column, close tube gently and centrifuge for 20 min at 3000 rpm.<br />
+☐ Discard the flow-through.<br />
+☐ Add 2.5 ml Buffer RPE to the RNA easy column, close the centrifuge tube gently,<br />
+incubate for 3 min<br />
+☐ Centrifuge for 10 min at 3000 rpm. Discard the flow-through.<br />
+☐ Add another 2.5 ml Buffer RPE to the RNeasy column. Close the centrifuge tube<br />
+gently, incubate for 3 min<br />
+☐ Centrifuge for 10 min at 3000 rpm, remove flow-through<br />
+☐ Centrifuge again for another 5 min.<br />
+☐ Label new 15 ml tubes from the kit.<br />
+☐ Transfer the RNA easy column to a new tube and pipet 250 ul volume of<br />
+RNase-free water directly onto the RNeasy silica-membrane incubate for 1 min<br />
+☐ Centrifuge for 5 min at 3000 rpm.<br />
+☐ To the same tube add again 250 ul H2O, incubate for 1 min.<br />
+☐ Centrifuge for 5 min at 3000 rpm.<br />
+☐ Label two sets of 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes.<br />
+☐ Transfer 490 ul to the one tube and 10 ul to another one. Use 10 ul tube for the RNA</p>

+
+<p><strong>Replication and Sample Balance:</strong></p>
+
+<p>3 independent replicates of both parental cultivars Steptoe and Morex were generated for both tissues, embryo and seedling leaf.</p>
