The present application belongs to the technical field of
crop breeding, and relates to a potato breeding method for editing
ALS gene. The method comprises the following steps: (1) using
agrobacterium transformed with a
gene editing tool to infect potato explants, wherein the infection medium used contains CaCl2 with a total concentration of 9-15 mM, and the
gene editing tool targets potato
ALS gene for editing
mutation of
ALS gene to make potato resistant to imidazolinone herbicides; (2) after co-cultivation and
recovery culture, the potato explants are sequentially subjected to resistant
callus induction, resistant
bud induction and
seedling culture on resistant
callus induction medium, resistant
bud induction medium and
seedling medium to obtain regenerated seedlings, and the resistant
callus induction medium, resistant
bud induction medium and
seedling medium all contain imidazolinone herbicides. By using the method of the present application, potato varieties with ALS
gene mutation can be obtained with high infection efficiency and high gene editing efficiency.
