Abstract: A ten-year-old plant of agarwood( Aquilaria sinensis) was induced by liquid transfusion technology,using healthy layer,transition and agarwood layers of the stems transfusion treated for 15 days as materials. Aidlab EASY-spin plus RN38 RNA extraction kits was modified in many key steps to improve the total RNA product qualities which were analyzed and then compared with those of the unmodified RNA extraction method. The results showed that the total RNA extracted by the modified RNA extraction method had better quality,purity and integrity than that of the unmodified method,in which the 28 S and 18 S bands were more legible with no impurity nor degradation,A260/ A280 was approximated to 2. 0,and the RIN greater than 6. This suggests that the modified method for extracting total RNA in different A. sinensis tissues transfusion treated produces high quality total RNA which can be used for transcriptome data analysis.
