Authentication of Basmati rice has relied on microsatellite markers since 2004, but microsatellites cannot distinguish between all of the forty-one Basmati varieties approved in 2017. This study investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and insertion/deletion (InDel) variations developed into KASP™ (Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR; LGC Biosearch Technologies) could be used to distinguish between commercial Basmati varieties. Suitable loci were identified by comparing whole genome sequences of 120 diverse rice accessions. Sequences flanking these loci were standardized across a wide range of rice genomes to produce optimal KASP designs. We selected 364 KASP designs to use for genotyping; they were either near to informative microsatellite markers, within the Badh2 and Waxy genes, or distributed throughout the rice genome. Genotypes for 327 KASP were obtained with 255 loci revealing polymorphism in up to 41 samples of approved Basmati varieties and 20 non-Basmati varieties. The varieties genotyped had not been used in the KASP design process. KASP were able to distinguish between commercial Basmati varieties that could not be distinguished with currently available microsatellites. Thirty-seven Basmati varieties could be distinguished from all others with between 3 and 8 KASP markers out of a pool of 98 informative markers. A reduced set of 24 KASP markers could determine whether a sample belongs to one of eight family groups. All of the KASP markers used in this study can be purchased from LGC Biosearch Technologies. These markers have potential to be used by industry for routine testing and regulation.
