Despite the efforts of breeders and the extensive use of fungicide control measures, late blight still remains a major threat to potato cultivation worldwide. The introduction of genetic resistance into cultivated potato is considered a valuable method to achieve durable resistance to late blight. Here, we report the identification and cloning ofRpi-vnt1.1, a previously uncharacterized late-blight resistance gene fromSolanum venturii. The gene was identified by a classical genetic and physical mapping approach and encodes a coiled-coil nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat protein with high similarity toTm-22fromS. lycopersicumwhich confers resistance againstTomato mosaic virus. Transgenic potato and tomato plants carryingRpi-vnt1.1were shown to be resistant toPhytophthora infestans. Of 11P. infestansisolates tested, only isolate EC1 from Ecuador was able to overcomeRpi-vnt1.1and cause disease on the inoculated plants. Alleles ofRpi-vnt1.1(Rpi-vnt1.2andRpi-vnt1.3) that differed by only a few nucleotides were found in other late-blight-resistant accessions ofS. venturii. The late blight resistance geneRpi-phu1fromS. phurejais shown here to be identical toRpi-vnt1.1, suggesting either that this strong resistance gene has been maintained since a common ancestor, due to selection pressure for blight resistance, or that genetic exchange betweenS. venturiiandS. phurejahas occurred at some time.
