  • Patent number: 9453263
    Abstract: 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: Grant

  • Patent number: 8865433
    Abstract: Disclosed are: a method for detecting common wheat among from wheat varieties contained in a sample of interest such as a food raw material or a processed food specifically, with high sensitivity, and in a qualitative and/or quantitative manner; a method for discriminating between common wheat and a wheat variety other than common wheat (e.g., durum wheat) contained in a food raw material or a processed food and detecting the common wheat in a qualitative and/or quantitative manner; and a primer set, a nucleic acid probe, and a detection kit, each of which can be used in the methods employing a PCR method.
