This invention discloses a
TaqMan real-time
fluorescent PCR detection primer and probe set, kit, and detection method for
Cuscuta pentaphyllum. The primer and probe set includes: an upstream primer C. pan F, whose
nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.1; a downstream primer C. pan R, whose
nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.2; and a
TaqMan probe C. pan P, whose
nucleotide sequence is shown in SEQ ID NO.3. The primers and
probe target specific fragments of the rbcL
gene sequence of
Cuscuta pentaphyllum, achieving specific recognition of
Cuscuta pentaphyllum through sequence complementarity matching. This avoids false positive results caused by cross-reactions with closely related species and
host plants at the
molecular targeting level, effectively solving the problem of difficulty in distinguishing closely related species in traditional morphological identification. Compared with traditional morphological identification and conventional PCR, this invention also features high detection efficiency, short
processing time, simple operation, and wide applicability. It is suitable for precise identification in professional laboratories and can also meet the practical applications in grassroots
quarantine and
field monitoring scenarios.
