Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is one of the most harmful afflictions in the world that affects tomato growth and production. Six regular antagonistic genes (, , , , , and ) have been transferred from wild germplasms to commercial cultivars as TYLCV protections. With serving as an appropriate source of TYLCV resistance, only , , and displayed substantial levels of opposition in a few strains.

Chlorophylls are ubiquitous pigments responsible for the green color in plants. Changes in the chlorophyll content have a significant impact on photosynthesis, plant growth and development. In this study, we used a yellow stigma mutant (ys) generated from a green stigma tomato WT by using ethylmethylsulfone (EMS)-induced mutagenesis.

The gene family is an important transcription factor family that regulates meristem formation, organ morphogenesis, signal transduction, and fruit development. A total of 24 genes of the TALE family were identified and analyzed in tomato. The 24 SlTALE family members could be classified into five BELL subfamilies and four KNOX subfamilies.

A typical NLR gene, Sl5R-1, which regulates Tomato spotted wilt virus resistance, was fine mapped to a region less than 145 kb in the tomato genome. Tomato spotted wilt is a viral disease caused by Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), which is a devastating disease that affects tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production worldwide, and the resistance provided by the Sw-5 gene has broken down in some cases. In order to identify additional genes that confer resistance to TSWV, the F population was mapped using susceptible (M82) and resistant (H149) tomato lines.

Tomato spotted wilt virus impacts negatively on a wide range of economically important plants, especially tomatoes. When plants facing any pathogen attack or infection, increase the transcription level of plant genes that are produced pathogenesis-related (PR) proteins. The aim of this study is a genome-wide identification of PR-10 superfamily and comparative analysis of and gene functions against tomato responses to biotic stress (TSWV) to systemic resistance in tomato.

The loss of volatiles results in the deterioration of flavor in tomatoes. Volatiles are mainly derived from fatty acid, carotenoid, phenylpropane, and branched chain amino acids. In this study, the tomato accession CI1005 with a strong odor and accession TI4001 with a weak odor were analyzed.

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is one of the most destructive diseases affecting tomato () cultivation and production worldwide. As defenses against TSWV, natural resistance genes have been identified in tomato, including , , , , , , , and . However, only exhibits a high level of resistance to the TSWV.

The root-knot nematode (RKN) is one of the most dangerous and widespread types of nematodes affecting tomatoes. There are few methods for controlling nematodes in tomatoes. Nature resistance genes (R-genes) are important in conferring resistance against nematodes.
