Frozen stems were scraped with a scalpel. Subsequently, the xylem material (which was removed from the stem piece with a scalpel) was ground to fine powder using a mortar/pestle and a Retsch MM300 mill (20 Hz, 5-mm bead). Total RNA was isolated using the ReliaPrep™ RNA Tissue Miniprep System (Promega). To eliminate genomic DNA contamination, on-column DNase digestion was performed (included in the ReliaPrep™ RNA Tissue Miniprep System (Promega)). RNAs from two plants were pooled to constitute a replicate. Total RNA (1 μg) was used as a template for the synthesis of cDNA using qScript® cDNA SuperMix (Quantabio). The transcript levels of AtCCR1 (AT1G15950) were determined with the Roche LightCycler 480 combined with the SYBR Green I Master Kit (Roche Diagnostics) in three technical repeats.
Poplar 18S RIBOSOMAL RNA (AF206999), POLYUBIQUITIN (BU879229), and LEAFY/FLORICAULA (Potri.015G106900) were used as reference genes. All primers used in this study are listed in Table S2. For the statistical analysis, normalized relative quantities were log10 transformed.

L3 larvae (n=45) were collected and quickly washed in water to remove food and yeast. Larvae were placed in ice-cold PBS in a depression well. Larval CNSs were fine dissected and transferred into microcentrifuge tubes containing 250 μl of an ice-cold 1:1 solution of RNAse-free PBS and RNALater (Invitrogen, AM7020). CNS samples were centrifuged at 382 g for 5 min at 4°C, and the supernatant was removed. Then, 500 μl fresh RNALater solution was added, and samples were stored at −80°C. Once CNS collection for three biological replicates per genotype had been performed, RNA extraction was carried out according to the manufacturer's protocol (Promega ReliaPrepTM RNA Tissue Miniprep System, Z6111). RNA concentration was measured using NanoDrop OneC (Thermo Fisher Scientific), and RNA integrity was checked by agarose gel electrophoresis. Four to six micrograms of total RNA per biological replicate were sequenced (Novogene Co. Ltd). Samples were assessed for quality with an Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer system, and paired-end sequencing was performed on an Illumina platform. Over 40 million reads/genotype were generated and mapped to the genome at a rate of 94-96%. Drosophila melanogaster (ensemble bdgp6_gca_000001215_4 genome assembly) was used. HISAT2 algorithm for alignment and DESeq2 R package (Anders and Huber, 2010 (link)) for differential gene expression were used.

Retinal tissue was homogenized by trituration using a pipette (n = 5/group). The RNA isolation of the retina was carried out according to the manufacturer's introduction using the Gene Elute Mammalian Total RNA Miniprep Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). For total RNA isolation of optic nerve tissue, the ReliaPrepTM RNA Tissue Miniprep System (Promega, Madison, WI, USA) was taken. Prior to isolation, optic nerve tissue was incubated in liquid nitrogen and then homogenized with a pestle (n = 5/group). An additional DNase digestion at RT for 15 min ensured that no genomic DNA contaminated RNA was obtained. The concentration and purity of the isolated RNA was determined photometrically using the BioSpectrometer® (Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). One microgram RNA and random hexamer primers were applied for reverse transcription using a cDNA synthesis kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). RT-qPCR experiments were done with SYBR Green I in a Light Cycler 96® (Roche Applied Science, Mannheim, Germany). For each primer pair (Table 4), efficiencies were determined by a dilution series of 5, 25, and 125 ng cDNA. Expression in retina and optic nerve tissue was normalized against the housekeeping genes β-actin (Actb) and 18S ribosomal RNA (Rn18S), respectively.

The RNA quantification and purity were assured using a Nanodrop ND-100 spectrophotometer (Thermo-Fischer Scientific®), and samples with 260/280 ratios between 1.8 and 2.2 were considered sufficiently pure. The samples’ integrity was also checked by electrophoresis on a 1% agarose gel and stained with SYBR Safe DNA gel stain (Thermo-Fischer Scientific®). Approximately 1 µg of each RNA sample was reverse transcribed with random hexamers by SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo-Fischer Scientific®).

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.
