Abstract: Cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) is an auto-tetraploid crop, which is very difficult to isolate late blight resistance genes. Nevertheless, it is discovered that there is conseved NBS-LRR domain among late blight resistance genes. In this study, conserved probes of R3a late blight resistance genes family were developed by alignment of sequences. And then, the DNA of BAC SH23G23 containingthe R3a gene was partially digested into 7–11 kb fragments. By magnetic separation system combined with conserved probes, the 7–11 kb fragments were enriched and cloned into binary vector pBINPLUS. Through identification of positive clones and colony PCR, the ratio of clones including R3a gene to all positive clones reached 82.76%, which was nearly 19 times higher than enrichment before. The system of magnetic separation for R genes and their analogs established in this study provides a new strategy for conserved domain genes cloning from polyploid crops.
