摘要

Laser capture microdissection (LCM) enables the selective isolation of organs, tissues, and cells from surrounding tissues. Total RNA extracted from small tissue sections can be used for a variety of subsequent analysis such as RNA-seq analysis. Here, we describe a method for isolating embryos from rice ovary sections using LCM and extracting total RNA. We successfully obtained sufficient amount of total RNA from a single rice embryo at the globular embryo stage for RNA-seq analysis.
