There is apaper published on Analytical Biochemistry describing
RNA isolation from potato tubers and other plant tissues.  I 
could not remember the year of publication.  It used sodium 
acetate to wash the RNA/polysaccharides pellet and remove the
polysaccharides.  The results look great, but I could not 
succeed in using that protocol.  If you want to know the 
reference, I can find out for you.
