A multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method was developed to simultaneously detect three varieties of genetically modified (GM) canola. The construct-specific primers were used to distinguish the following three varieties of GM canola; GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45, using multiplex PCR. The FatA (fatty acyl-ACP thioesterase) gene was used as an endogenous canola reference gene in the PCR detection. The primer pair Canendo-FIR containing a 105 bp amplicon was used to amplify the FatA gene and no amplified product was observed in any of the 15 different plants used as templates. The GT73-KHUF1/R1 primer recognized the 3'-flanking region of GT73, resulting in an amplicon of 125 bp. The Barstar-F1/MS8xRF3-R primer recognized the junction region of bars tar and the NOS terminator introduced into MS8xRF3, resulting in a 162 bp amplicon, and the T45-F2/R2 primer recognized the junction region of PAT and the 35S terminator introduced into T45, resulting in an amplicon of 186 bp. This multiplex PCR allowed for the detection of construct-specific targets in a genomic DNA mixture of up to 1% GM canola containing GT73, MS8xRF3, and T45.
