“…Njavara rice is known for its distinct agronomically important traits like short duration (60 days maturity) and upland adaptation (Sreejayan et al, 2011;Disket et al, 2013;Rani & Sukumari, 2016). Nutritional superiority of njavara grains was reported elsewhere (Deepa et al, 2008;Rao et al, 2010;Mohanlal et al, 2011;Lal preethi et al, 2022). This makes njavara an ideal genetic resource for crop improvement in rice.…”

“…300-700 BCE). Scientific research shows significantly higher levels of nutrients, anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory molecules in Njavara as compared to other rice cultivars (Deepa et al, 2008;Rao et al, 2010;Mohanlal et al, 2011Mohanlal et al, , 2013Lal preethi et al, 2022). The ayurvedic industry has been utilizing several health-conducive applications using Njavara grains, like Njavavarakizhi and Njavara theppu (shashtika anna lepa), both claimed as therapies for neural, circulatory and rheumatic disorders (Deepa et al, 2008(Deepa et al, , 2010Simi & Abraham, 2008;Sreejayan et al, 2011;Reshmi & Nandini, 2018).…”

The present study report the development of an amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP)-derived sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker for reliable identification of Njavara (Oryza sativa landrace Njavara), a rice landrace in India used extensively in health foods and Ayurveda treatments. The SCAR locus, named OsNSCAR131 after O. sativa landrace Njavara, is located on chromosome 3 between nucleotide positions 7793982 and 7794108, and yields a 131-bp allele in Njavara accessions and a 127-bp allele in other rice cultivars due to a 4-bp Insertion-Deletion (InDel) mutation at nucleotide position 7794026. We standardized the SCAR assay to be like those used for detecting microsatellite markers by using fluorescently (6-FAM) labeled primers and separating the alleles by capillary electrophoresis. As an alternative, we further adapted the method so as to allow allele detection by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). A single rice grain can be tested for authentication by this PAGE assay. The SCAR marker developed here has great utility in authenticating Njavara grains in both the health food and pharmaceutical sectors.
