A. lyrata plants postflowering were used for total RNA isolation. Roots were recovered from soil, washed thoroughly with sterile water and dried with a clean tissue. Around 10 mg of ground roots were extracted with 600 μL of TRIzol reagent (ThermoFisher, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Chloroform (120 μL) was added to remove proteins and other impurities. After centrifugation (13,000×g; 10 min), an aliquot (400 µL) of supernatant was recovered and an equal volume of isopropanol added. Following mixing the pellet was recovered by centrifugation (10,000×g; 10 min) and washed with 70% ethanol. After centrifugation (10,000×g; 5 min) the pellet was dried at room temperature for 10 min. Sterilized water (30 μL) was then added to dissolve the total RNA. Reverse transcription reactions were performed using ≤2 μg of total RNA, random primers and a reverse transcription kit (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The cDNA library was then used for amplification of the coding sequence of AlTHAA2 (AL8G20050). A pair of gene-specific primers attached with GATEWAY att sites were used (Fwd: GGGGACAAGTTTGTACAAAAAAGCAGGCTTCATGGACACCATGAAGGTTGAAATC; Rev: GGGGACCACTTTGTACAAGAAAGCTGGGTTTTAGATCAATACACTTGGATTTG). cDNAs were cloned into the GATEWAY entry vector pDONR207 (Invitrogen).

Total RNA was isolated from TA muscle of WT and hSOD1G93A mice using RNeasy Lipid Tissue extraction kit (QIAGEN Inc., Alameda, CA, USA) per the manufacturer’s protocol. The total RNA was purified from genomic DNA contamination using Turbo DNAse treatment (Ambion, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) then converted to cDNA by means of a reverse transcription kit (Agilent Technologies Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) per the manufacturer’s protocol. Commercially available gene-specific Taqman probes (Applied Biosystems, Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) were used to amplify target gene of interest as described previously [8 (link)]. Relative target gene expression to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was determined using this formula: 2-∆CT where ∆Ct = (Ct target gene – Ct GAPDH) [20 (link)]. Final measures are presented as relative levels of gene expression in hSOD1G93A mice compared with expression in WT controls.
