Patent number: 9453263Abstract: Provided is a method of detecting or quantifying a wheat species-specific DNA in a test sample by polymerase chain reaction. The method comprises a step of amplifying a nucleic acid molecule having a partial sequence of a nucleotide sequence identified as SEQ ID NO: 1 using a nucleic acid molecule in the test sample or a nucleic acid molecule extracted from the test sample as the template and using a primer pair capable of amplifying the partial sequence and a step of detecting or quantifying the amplified nucleic acid molecule.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2014Date of Patent: September 27, 2016Assignee: NISSHIN SEIFUN GROUP INC.Inventors: Kazumi Kitta, Satoshi Furui, Junichi Mano, Shinjiro Imai, Keiko Tanaka, Yasuyuki Matsuoka, Shinichiro Arami, Megumi Sato, Hiroyuki Haraguchi, Youichi Kurimoto
