The DNA was extracted from the pellet obtained from 50 mL of the apple washing solution (see Section 3.2) and the extraction was performed using the FastDNA™ SPIN Kit (MP Bio-medicals, IIIkirch, France). The DNA extraction was conducted following the method illustrated by Al Riachy et al. [58 (link)]. The first step consisted of the resuspension of the pellet in 1 mL of the lysing solution CLS-TC (MP Biomedicals, Germany), included in the kit, and then its transfer to the lysing matrix A tube. The Garnet matrix and a 1/4″ ceramic sphere were incorporated into the latter to aid in cell lysis. Subsequently, the samples underwent grinding using the FastPrep® Instrument for a duration of 50 s at a speed of 6 m/s. The remaining steps of the extraction followed the manufacturer’s specifications (MP Bio-medicals, IIIkirch, France). Finally, the DNA was resuspended in 50 µL of DNase-free water (DES), and its purity ratio and concentration were assessed using a Nanodrop ND 8000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA).

For RNA extraction, the jejunal tissues were carefully flushed with phosphate-buffered saline and immediately placed in RNAlater (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) and stored at −20°C until further use. Approximately 80 mg of the sample tissue was immersed in 1 mL TRIsure, (Bioline, Sydney, Australia) homogenized with an IKA ultra-turrax homogenizer (IKA-Work, Staufen, Germany). Total RNA was extracted as per the manufacturer's instructions. Total RNA was purified using ISOLATE II RNA Mini Kit (Bioline, Sydney, Australia) and a DNase I digestion step was included to remove any remaining genomic DNA as per the manufacturer's instructions. A NanoDrop ND-8000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham) and the Agilent 2,100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Waldbronn, Germany) were used to determine the concentration and RNA integrity (RNA Integrity Number, or RIN), respectively. Purified total RNA was stored at −80°C until further use.

From the fruit of each condition/stage, the total RNA was extracted with the Spectrum Plant total RNA kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). RNA was quantified and controlled using a NanoDrop ND8000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and a 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA), respectively. To capture the effect of each treatment in modulating the development of scald, the control sample together with 1-MCP and lovastatin samples, collected after 4 months of cold storage + 5 days of shelf life at 20 °C, were employed to perform a genome-wide RNA-sequencing assay. For each replicate/sample, 3 μg of RNA (isolated from three replicates per sample) were used for the preparation of RNA-Seq library using the NEB Next Ultra II kit (BioLabs Inc., New England, following the manufacturer’s instruction). The libraries obtained here were quantified using qPCR and controlled with the DNA 1000 series II chip bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The libraries were then sequenced using an Illumina NextSeq 500 (read length of 75 bp) at the Functional Genomic Lab at the University of Verona (Italy). RNA-Seq raw data are freely available at the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database with the following accession number GSE136374.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
