Abstract: According to NPTⅡ gene(HE582394.1), the common selective marker gene of genetically modified plant(GMP), six specific primers were designed. A loop-mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)method for screening GMP was established. Real-time monitoring of the LAMP reaction was achieved by a turbidimeter. Specificity, sensitivity, stability and repeatability of this method were tested. The results showed that the method can specifically detect NPTⅡ gene, and the detection sensitivity of the method was 0.5%. With the genetically modified maize MON863(NPTⅡ positive)samples of 10%, 1%, 0.5%, 0%(W/W)as templates, stability and repeatability testing was conducted, and false negative rate was 0. The results showed that the LAMP method is suitable for specifically detecting NPTⅡ gene in GMP.
