Abstract

Sugar cane-specific gene could be successfully amplified with DNAs isolated from sugar or sugarhoney using Saccharum officinarum-specific Ultra-Rapid or conventional PCR. Specificity of PCR products from sugar or sugar-honey was verified by nested PCR and DNA sequencing. This PCR could be applied to a quantitative analysis for honey-evaluation. In our knowledge, it is first report that sugar cane-specific sequence could be detected from sugar-honey or sugar itself, and that sugar-honey could be evaluated by genetic examination.
