I having been extracting RNA from Arabidopsis shoot and root samples (different treatments) using Trizol method, checked RNA quality with nanodrop and obtained good values (1.8-2.0 260/280 and 1.9-2.0, sometimes 2.3 230/260). Synthesized cDNA with RocketScript reverse transcriptase with 1ug RNA. But when I use the cDNA (1uL, 2uL etc) for regular PCR using tested housekeeping/reference genes, most times I obtain non-equal bands (intensity) among samples suggesting that the starting cDNA varies among the samples. I believe that I have quality RNA samples. In addition, I obtained varying Ct values among samples for the reference gene in qRT, which is also a clear evidence of not equal cDNA. Please what am I probably doing wrong or need to optimize?
