Benefits of technology

The present invention provides a simplified method of detecting the presence or absence of mixed varieties of grains in high-quality grains of a certain variety through multiplex PCR amplification using DNAs extracted from the grains. The method uses pair primers that are specific to the negative bands of the grains and can detect the presence of these bands in the sample. This allows for the rapid and accurate detection of mixed varieties of grains in a grain sample and the identification of the specific variety of grain. The method is useful for rice, wheat, corn, or barley. The kit used for the method contains the pair primers and reagents for PCR. The invention helps to ensure the quality of high-quality grains and helps to identify the specific variety of grain.

Problems solved by technology

However, different rice is mixed into such high-quality rice by some dishonest traders, and the unfair mixed rice with a false indication is sold on the market.
In that situation, it is impossible to detect the presence or absence of any different variety mixed in a certain variety of rice according to the conventional method as above.
However, when the discrimination band pattern of a different variety of rice to be discriminated from “Koshihikari” partly overlaps with that of “Koshihikari”, or when about 10 to 30% of a different variety of rice that gives a smaller number of discrimination bands than “Koshihikari” is mixed with “Koshihikari”, or when different several varieties of rice are mixed, it is difficult to individually detect and identify those different varieties of the mixed rice.
Therefore, the detection of only the discrimination bands that should not appear in the band pattern of the object variety of rice is insufficient for the information to identify the varieties of mixed rice, and further PCR is needed for individually identifying the varieties of mixed rice.
According to the conventional techniques here to fore known in the art, it is impossible to rapidly and accurately detect the presence or absence of mixed varieties-in grains and to individually identify the mixed varieties in a simplified manner.

example 1 (

Detection of Different Varieties Mixed in “Koshihikari” by the Use of DNA Groups for Negative Band Discrimination)

[0111] Best twenty varieties of rice harvested in 1999 in Japan, “Koshihikari”, “Hitomebore”, “Hinohikari”, “Akitakomachi”, “Kirara 397”, “Kinuhikari”, “Hoshinoyume”, “Haenuki”, “Mutsuhomare”, “Nipponbare”, “Sasanishiki”, “Tsugaruroman”, “Hanaechizen”, “Yumetsukushi”, “Hatsushimo”, “Asanohikari”, “Tsukinohikari”, “Aichinokaori”, “Matsuribare” and “Akiho” were tested, all unpolished. Using a laboratory rice mill, (Yamamoto Seisakusho's Ricepal VP31T), these were milled into polished rice to a yield of 90%.

[0112] Using an ultracentrifugal grinder (by Retsch), the polished rice samples were separately ground. A genome DNA was extracted from 6 g of each powder sample through CTAB treatment. Concretely, 6 ml of a 2% CTAB solution (0.1 M tris-HCl, 2 mM disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA), 1.4 M NaCl, pH 8.0) at 70° C. was added to the sample and stirred, and put into ...

Discrimination of Different Varieties in Mixed Rice by the Use of DNA Groups for Negative / Positive Band Discrimination)

[0118] Best twenty varieties of rice harvested in 1999 in Japan, “Koshihikari”, “Hitomebore”, “Hinohikari”, “Akitakomachi”, “Kirara 397”, “Kinuhikari”, “Hoshinoyume”, “Haenuki”, “Mutsuhomare”, “Nipponbare”, “Sasanishiki”, “Tsugaruroman”, “Hanaechizen”, “Yumetsukushi”, “Hatsushimo”, “Asanohikari”, “Tsukinohikari”, “Aichinokaori”, “Matsuribare” and “Akiho” were tested, all unpolished. Using a laboratory rice mill, (Yamamoto Seisakusho's Ricepal VP31T), these were milled into polished rice to a yield of 90%. One grain of each polished rice sample was ground in a mortar to prepare powder rice samples. A genome DNA was extracted from each powder sample, using a DNA extraction kit, ISOPLANT II.

[0119] A PCR composition was prepared by mixing 10.4 μl of sterilized water, 0.2 μl of polymerase (Taq polymerase (5 U / μl) by Takara Bio Inc.), 2.5 μl of PCR buffer (12 mM tris-HCl...

example 3 (

Detection of Mixed Rice by the Use of Three DNA for Negative Band Discrimination)

[0124] Best twenty varieties of rice harvested in 1999 in Japan, “Koshihikari”, “Hitomebore”, “Hinohikari”, “Akitakomachi”, “Kirara 397”, “Kinuhikari”, “Hoshinoyume”, “Haenuki”, “Mutsuhomare”, “Nipponbare”, “Sasanishiki”, “Tsugaruroman”, “Hanaechizen”, “Yumetsukushi”, “Hatsushimo”, “Asanohikari”, “Tsukinohikari”, “Aichinokaori”, “Matsuribare” and “Akiho” were tested, all unpolished. In the same manner as in Example 1, a template DNA was prepared from each polished rice sample.

[0125] In this Example, mixed rice of “Koshihikari” with a small amount of a different variety was estimated and tried. For this, 80% of DNA of “Koshihikari” was mixed with 20% of DNA of any other different variety to prepare a template DNA. The Template DNA was subjected to PCR with a primer mixture of S13F25 and S13R24 (SEQ ID Nos. 83 and 84) of 0.08 μl each; E30F28 and E30R24 (SEQ ID Nos. 39 and 40) of 0.05 μl each; and M2CGF16...

Abstract

Provided is a DNA-level grain variety discrimination method of detecting the presence or absence of any other varieties of grains in object grains of a certain variety through multiplex PCR that uses the DNAs extracted from the grains or from their processed products as templates. The method is characterized in that the multiplex PCR uses pair primer groups that are for discriminative detection of negative bands not appearing in the band pattern of the object variety but selectively appearing only in the band patterns of the other mixed varieties. The method has made it possible to rapidly and simply detect the presence or absence of mixed varieties in high-quality grains such as “Koshihikari”, and to identify the mixed varieties.
