Background: Glycyrrhiza uralensis is a traditional Chinese herb, and sales volume of this herb is large. However, adulterant herbal materials threaten trade and consumer safety. Methods:A rapid detection system for the identification of G. uralensis was established using loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Real-Time PCR). The DNA was extracted and the G. uralensis primers were designed. LAMP and Real-Time PCR were performed to assessment the specificity of primers in species. The sensitivity of LAMP and Real-Time PCR was contrast by diluting DNA concentration gradient from 101 ng/μL to 10-5 ng/μL. Results: tThe results showed that LAMP and Real-Time PCR were specificity because G. uralensis were positive while similar species were not. The sensitivity of LAMP was similar to Real-Time PCR at DNA concentration of 10-4ng in 60 min. The results indicated that LAMP and Real-Time PCR are accurately, specificity and sensitivity in the Authenticity Identification of G. uralensis. Conclusions: LAMP is less time-consuming, convenient, and does not require expensive equipment. Thus, these findings suggested that a method system and standard of traditional Chinese herb market supervision should be established based on a DNA barcode sequence and LAMP for authenticity identification.
