The burgeoning demand for quinoa seeds and functional food products has increased rapidly over the past five years, causing an outstripping of supply from its native origins of Bolivia and Peru. In 2013, Canadian sales increased by 58%, with Ontario currently importing over $33 M of quinoa for use as a cereal alternative and functional food ingredient (Statistics Canada, 2014). Katan Kitchens, an Ontario-based company, along with industry support, has proven that competitive quinoa yields are achievable in Ontario to augment the issues of quality and supply currently facing imports from South America. In order to assure purity, quality, traceability and intellectual property (brand) protection throughout the entire value chain, the company is now seeking to explore molecular variation in their Ontario quinoa varieties and the subsequent development of molecular markers that could be used to identify and protect Ontario varieties of quinoa; this will allow the development and commercialization molecular diagnostic tools that could detect Ontario quinoa varieties and distinguish them from imported products, thus allowing for a unique Ontario branding opportunity for Katan Kitchens. Ontario and Canadian agriculture will benefit from this initiative, as it will contribute to the integrity of research and production of new and innovative crops on Ontario soils. The model for this system to identify if quinoa DNA intellectual property protection is possible can be applied to other new, innovative crops as they are introduced to Ontario agriculture, which will help protect the integrity of crops produced in Canada.

对藜麦种子和功能性食品的需求在过去五年中迅速增长。 多年来，造成供应超过其原产地玻利维亚和秘鲁。2013年，加拿大销售 增加了58%，安大略目前进口超过3300万美元的藜麦作为谷物替代品， 功能性食品成分（加拿大统计局，2014年）。Katan Kitchener是一家位于安大略省的公司，沿着 产业的支持，已经证明，有竞争力的藜麦产量是可以实现的安大略，以增加问题， 质量和供应目前面临从南美进口。为了确保纯度、质量、可追溯性 和知识产权（品牌）保护贯穿整个价值链，该公司现在正在寻求 探索他们的安大略藜麦品种的分子变异和随后的分子进化 可用于识别和保护安大略藜麦品种的标记;这将使开发 和商业化的分子诊断工具，可以检测安大略藜麦品种和区分 他们从进口产品，从而使一个独特的安大略品牌的机会，卡坦基托。 安大略省和加拿大农业将受益于这一举措，因为它将有助于维护 在安大略土壤上研究和生产新的和创新的作物。该系统的模型，以确定是否 藜麦DNA知识产权保护是可能的，可以应用于其他新的，创新的作物，因为他们 引入安大略农业，这将有助于保护加拿大生产的作物的完整性。
