Development and Interlaboratories Validation of Event-Specific Quantitative Real-Time PCR Method for Genetically Modified Rice G6H1 Event

The transgenic rice G6H1 was a new event with the traits of herbicide-tolerance and insect-resistant. Herein, we developed one event-specific real-time PCR method with high specificity and sensitivity for G6H1 event quantitative analysis, and validated its performance on practical samples quantification through a collaborative ring trial. A total of eight laboratories participated in this validation and quantified three blind G6H1 powder samples including DNA extraction and real-time PCR analysis. The statistically analyzed results from returned data confirmed its high PCR efficiency and good linearity, trueness, and precision, indicating that the developed G6H1 real-time PCR assay was accurate, reliable, and comparable for G6H1 identification and quantification.
