The present study was focussed to clone and sequence characterise alleles of osmotin from cDNA of Solanum tuberosum L. cultivar ‘Kufri Chipsona 1’. The genes vary in sizes as well as were found to have eleven point mutations throughout the coding sequence. One deletion of 7 bp was also found in smaller form of the gene having molecular weight of 19.91 KDa. Osmotin gene is known to impart resistance/tolerance to various fungal diseases in addition to its role as an osmoprotectant, thus, cloned osmotin alleles from important processing grade potato cultivar could become potential candidates for molecular breeding of potato.
