N2 - This report has demonstrated that KASP assays are a feasible approach to distinguish between Basmati and non-Basmati varieties. The report suggests further work that would be needed to optimise and improve the reliability of the KASP assay technique (e.g. more replications and better samples of DNA to find more markers), this could then be used to design and develop a cost effective, fit for purpose method that can be applied by enforcement labs to verify labelling of Basmati rice.
