A novel loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay was developed to distinguish authentic Basmati rice varieties from non-Basmatis, based on 10 bp insertion-deletion (InDel) identified in the Lax1 gene. The developed assay demonstrated high specificity and allowed discrimination between Basmati and adulterant non-Basmatis with a detection limit of 10%.
