Abstract: Purpose of this study is to realize the identification ability of false positive samples and reduce template amount interference with real-time PCR results in optimizing irradiation food identification. Potato tuber was selected as material and treated with 60-Co in gradient dose(1-12 kGy),irradiating,heating and freezing-thawing respectively. Analysis methods,including primer screening of transposon,detection limit analysis,comparison of DNA damage characteristics and dose curve regression,were used to explore the optimized effects of transposon primers in potato irradiation identification. As results,transposon primer combination of LTR2-5\18S-8 and LTR2-2\ACT-5 can be used for the identification of false positive samples,and the combination of LTR2-5\18S-5 can be used for irradiation identification. In the optimized method,the irradiation dose was linear with the exponential function of the initial cycle difference with the standard equation Y=-0.1581X+ 4.611 and determination coefficient R2 99.24%,which was superior to the original initial cycle difference-irradiation dose model. In conclusion,by the optimized method,the dose-effect relationship with real-time PCR in irradiation identification was improved with less possibility of false positive,and the result interference caused by template amount was eliminated.
