Resistance to the insect vector enhances the robustness and durability of tomato yellow leaf curl virus resistance conferred by .

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a begomovirus (genus , family ) transmitted persistently by the whitefly . It causes tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), resulting in significant yield losses worldwide. TYLCD is controlled mainly by using F1 hybrid tomato cultivars harboring the TYLCV resistance gene .

Induction of Glandular Trichomes to Control in Tomato Crops: Modulation by the Natural Enemy .

Whitefly-transmitted viruses are one of the biggest threats to tomato () growing worldwide. Strategies based on the introgression of resistance traits from wild relatives are promoted to control tomato pests and diseases. Recently, a trichome-based resistance characterizing the wild species was introgressed into a cultivated tomato.

Crinivirus Tomato Chlorosis Virus Compromises the Control of Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus in Tomato Plants by the Gene.

Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) causes severe damage to tomato crops in warm regions of the world, and is associated with infections of several whitefly ()-transmitted single-stranded (ss)DNA begomoviruses (genus , family ). The most widespread begomovirus isolates associated with TYLCD are those of the type strain of the species, known as Israel (TYLCV-IL). The gene is widely used in commercial tomato cultivars to control TYLCV-IL damage, providing resistance to the virus by restricting viral accumulation and tolerance to TYLCD by inhibiting disease symptoms.

Begomovirus Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus Is Seedborne but Not Seed Transmitted in Melon.

Seed transmission can be of considerable relevance to the dissemination of plant viruses in nature and for their prevalence and perpetuation. Long-distance spread of isolates of the begomovirus species (genus , family ) has recently occurred from Asia to the Middle East and the Mediterranean Basin. Here, we investigated the possible transmission by melon ( L.

Host Plant Resistance to to Control Damage Caused in Tomato Plants by the Emerging Crinivirus Tomato Chlorosis Virus.

Tomato chlorosis virus (genus , family ) (ToCV) is rapidly emerging, causing increased damage to tomato production worldwide. The virus is transmitted in a semipersistent manner by several whitefly (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) species and is expanding its geographical and host ranges associated with the emergence of whiteflies of the complex. Control is based essentially on intensive insecticide applications against the insect vector but is largely ineffective.
