ABSTRACT
A method using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was designed for the detection of genetically modified maize CBH351, which has not authorized as safe for use in foods and feeds in Japan yet. We analyzed a recombinant DNA (r-DNA) sequence introduced into CBH351 maize and designed specific primer pairs to amplify a segment including part of the r-DNA. The PCR products obtained by using the designed primer pairs are specific for CBH351 and should prevent false positive results caused by other maizes and other main cereal crops. The r-DNA introduced into CBH351 could be detected from maize samples containing 0.05-0.1% CBH351 maize. This sensitivity is theoretically equivalent to a level of several genome copies and so this technique is a very efficient means to detect CBH351 maize.
