Abstract:

As the global area of transgenic crops grows continually, special concerns have been raised on the detection of
genetically modified components which is regarded as important technical supports for the safety management of genetically
modified organisms (GMO). A series of detection techniques for GMOs have been developed in various countries and
regions worldwide. Recently, due to the advantages of fast and convenient operation, loop-mediated isothermal amplification
(LAMP) has been widely used in the detection of genetic modification. The present paper tries to review the latest research
and application of LAMP assays in the detection of genetically modified components.

Key words: loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), genetically modified components, detection
