[0030] PCR amplification and gel electrophoresis verification: DNA was extracted from *Citrus 'Red Beauty'* and 15 other citrus varieties. PCR amplification was performed using screening primers in a 10 μL reaction system (containing 1× buffer, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 0.5 μM primers, and 1 U Taq enzyme). The PCR amplification program was: 94 ℃ pre-denaturation for 5 min; 94 ℃ denaturation for 30 s, 57 ℃ annealing for 40 s, 72 ℃ extension for 40 s, 35 cycles; 72 ℃ extension for 10 min. After amplification, electrophoresis was performed on a 2% agarose gel (110 V, 1 h). Variety identification was performed based on differences in amplified bands, and primers with clear and stable amplified bands were retained. The two primer pairs obtained through agarose gel electrophoresis screening, as shown in Table 1 and SEQ ID NO: 5–8, can be used to identify primer combinations for the authenticity identification of *Citrus 'Red Beauty'*.
