AI Article Synopsis
- ToBRFV is a newly identified virus first detected in 2015 in Jordan that poses a significant threat to tomato and pepper crops worldwide.
- The virus spreads easily through mechanical means and seeds, and it can infect plants even with commonly used resistance genes, making it hard to control.
- The impact of ToBRFV on fruit production and quality can severely decrease market value, prompting ongoing research into its discovery, spread, detection, and potential prevention strategies.
Article Abstract
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging tobamovirus. It was first reported in 2015 in Jordan in greenhouse tomatoes and now threatens tomato and pepper crops around the world. ToBRFV is a stable and highly infectious virus that is easily transmitted by mechanical means and via seeds, which enables it to spread locally and over long distances. The ability of ToBRFV to infect tomato plants harboring the commonly deployed resistance genes, as well as pepper plants harboring the resistance alleles under certain conditions, limits the ability to prevent damage from the virus. The fruit production and quality of ToBRFV-infected tomato and pepper plants can be drastically affected, thus significantly impacting their market value. Herein, we review the current information and discuss the latest areas of research on this virus, which include its discovery and distribution, epidemiology, detection, and prevention and control measures, that could help mitigate the ToBRFV disease pandemic.

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) has emerged as a major plant pathogen with the potential to spread through contaminated wastewater, posing risks to agriculture and public health. This study evaluated ToBRFV as a human-specific microbial source tracking (MST) marker in Thailand, comparing its performance to crAssphage. Using qPCR assays, ToBRFV was detected in 62.

Background: Plant breeding research heavily relies on wild species, which harbor valuable traits for modern agriculture. This work employed a new introgression population derived from Solanum pennellii (LA5240), a wild tomato native to Peru, composed of 1,900 genotyped backcross inbred lines (BILs_BC2S6) in the tomato inbreds LEA and TOP cultivated genetic backgrounds. This Peruvian accession was found resistant to the most threatening disease of tomatoes today, caused by the tobamovirus tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV).

Article Synopsis
- Plant viruses pose significant threats to crops, making quick and accurate detection essential for managing outbreaks and ensuring food security.
- This study introduces a CRISPR/Cas13a method that can rapidly identify various plant viruses, including the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), directly from crop RNA.
- A simple, 15-minute extraction-free protocol was developed, allowing for on-site detection using a portable fluorescent viewer and a mobile phone camera, effectively helping identify ToBRFV in commercial greenhouses.
Biogenic silver nanoparticles derived from the marine brown algae Iyengaria stellata for plant growth promotion under saline conditions.

In the green approach for nanoparticle synthesis, biomolecules like phenols, alkaloids, proteins, enzymes, and lipids are the prime reducing and stabilizing agents. In this study, we reported the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the aqueous extract of the marine algae Iyengaria stellata (Børgesen) for the first time. The characterization study showed that the developed AgNPs were spherical in shape and their average particle size was 60 nm.
