Published purpose
The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging disease threatening tomato industry by deteriorating fruit quality, reducing shelf life and making fruits unmarketable from 30% to 70%. ToBRFV can overcome all known genetic resistance genes resulting in all commercial tomato varieties being susceptible to the virus. Efforts to manage ToBRFV currently focus on using certified seed and maintaining strict biosecurity and sanitation practices. We have developed some attenuated ToBRFV strains that will be tested for the efficacy to protect tomato plants from the infection of wild-type ToBRFV in a commercial greenhouse.
