Abstract:

PCR inhibitory substances in the genomic DNA extracted from brown rice, polished rice and rice bran were analyzed and the inhibition mechanisms were explored. PCR inhibitors were mainly observed in rice bran. Indirect evidence also proved that PCR reaction was inhibited via the inhibition of Taq polymerase. PAGE and EMSA analysis revealed that macromolecules may not be the PCR inhibitors in rice.

Key words: rice, genome, PCR, inhibitory substances, inhibitory mechanism
