Scores for individual plants are presented in Table S3. The additional observation that plants deficient in RDR2 and -6 only showed a moderate increase in susceptibility to geminiviruses 30 , 31 agrees with the involvement of other RDRs, such as Ty-1 , in RNAi amplification.
This also makes sense in light of a primary role for a methylation-based defense against geminivirus infections, as demonstrated by several observations: i Plants deficient for different TGS pathway components e. This characteristic not only lowers the durability of Ty-1 under natural field conditions where the presence of various plant viruses and the occurrence of mixed infections is more common but also stresses the importance of disease management strategies against additional plant RNA viruses in cultivated Ty-1 tomato plants to minimize mixed infections.
Although the intergenic region upstream of V2 also showed an siRNA level increase by 1. Considering that RDRs are not known to have a bias for specific viral RNA transcript templates, the siRNA enrichment for V1 CP :C3 could only make sense in light of both gene transcript sequences being located in the bidirectional transcript overlap and leading to the generation of the first primary siRNAs.
Whether, in addition, V1 and C3 transcript sequences are relatively abundant and play a part in this as well remains to be investigated.
However, more recent studies on Ty-1 hybrids indicate that the gene also seems to control a resistance response to distinct bipartite begomovirus species including tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus, tomato rugose mosaic virus, tomato yellow vein streak virus, tobacco leaf curl Japan virus, and honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic virus 42 — An additional interesting outcome of this study was the observation that virus-challenged Ty-2 plants, which never showed any symptoms, revealed the presence of TYLCV-specific siRNAs.
This is clearly indicative of an ongoing viral infection, and agrees with an earlier observation by Barbieri et al. Why these plants have become well-infected still remains intriguing and will be of interest in light of resistance durability. Although speculative, considering the function of Ty-1 , it is not unlikely that a modulation decrease of RDR expression caused by a biotic stress factors could be involved, leading to increased susceptibility.

Disease resistant tomato varieties are resistant to ailments caused by pathogens, not others. There is no variety that can resist impoverished soil, which is by far the biggest cause if plant disease all over the world. Here cones the easy bit! Tomato diseases have codes! Scientists, growers, and gardeners have made it easy to understand which disease a tomato variety is resistant by inventing some easy codes a few letters that you can find at the back of your seed packet.
So, whenever you buy tomato seeds, do check out these codes, and they will tell you if and which diseases the tomato variety you are about to buy is resistant to:. Just look on the seed packet; if you see one of these codes, it means the variety your are buying is resistant to it.
But which diseases should you look out for to protect your tomato plants and crops? True, you need to know which tomato diseases are typical of your area. There are two ways to go about it. If you know of any diseases that have or are affecting your local area, make sure you get resistant varieties.
You can also check online; there are basically maps of diseases. But there is also the climate of your area that tells you which are the more probable diseases. In fact, tomatoes do not get the same diseases and types of diseases in hot and dry regions or in wet areas, for example.
Bacteria Wilt BW , for example is typical of hot and humid places, while Fusarium crown and root rot attacks plants in cool soil and in greenhouses. Nematodes N too like warm and and humid conditions, while corky root rot affects tomatoes in colder regions, like Canada or the Northern USA. We almost there now, we are almost about to meet some disease resistant tomatoes, just after a final tip, though.
In tact, there is no point in choosing disease resistant tomatoes if you then leave them exposed to other health problems. The ideal place for a tomato vine has healthy and fertile water, abundant water, hot and well ventilated air.
This last factor is important. Stuffy air is a real problem with tomatoes. They like nutritious soil rich in organic matter. The problem with most soil nowadays is that it is depleted; it needs constant feeding and fertilizing because it cannot retain the nutrients that tomatoes need.
If your soil has been cultivated organically, and especially with permaculture, this would be very good for tomatoes. Tomatoes also need regular watering ; if you notice that the top leaves become limp, it means the tomato vine is thirsty.
All the identified S. Resistant accessions from S. Currently, Ty-1 , Ty-2 , and Ty-3 are the primary resistance genes widely used in tomato breeding programs reported in literature. The Ty-4 resistance locus confers only a low level of resistance, while the ty-5 gene is recessive in nature; therefore, the utilization of these genes in tomato breeding programs is restricted Ji et al.
Ty-6 is an incompletely dominant resistance locus that was more recently identified Hutton and Scott, Little is known about Ty-6 or the extent to which it is utilized commercially. Ty-1 , Ty-3 , Ty-4 , and reportedly Ty-6 all originated from various S.
In some cases, a single S. Resistance in commercial breeding materials can likewise be mediated by a single resistance gene or a joint response of different genes. UPV was the most resistant S. Resistance in L, a UPVderived inbred line, was monogenic and incompletely dominant. Pyramiding resistance derived from UPV and the Ty-1 gene increased the level of resistance in different crosses between Ty-1 lines BC 7 S 1 generation from the cross S.
Interspecific hybrids between cultivated tomato S. In many S. Interspecific hybrids were obtained between S. Cultivars or improved breeding lines developed at the World Vegetable Center are available for breeding purposes or for local agronomic performance testing for future release.
Although initial breeding efforts involved a larger number of S. Tyking later became the primary focus of the program. However, undesirable horticultural traits are generally coupled with both introgressions, known as linkage drag. Similarly, Fla. Various advanced populations have been developed starting from S.
Besides accession B, promising resistant lines were developed using S. Combined resistance derived from both LA and LA has been introgressed into cultivated tomato. This resulted in segregating families displaying responses to TYLCV ranging from resistance and tolerance to susceptibility.
In addition, resistant accessions from S. Resistance sources have also been uncovered from S. Results obtained by testing these populations for their response to TYLCV infection indicated that the resistance mediated by LA was monogenic and incompletely dominant Banerjee and Kalloo, In this study, we presented our own and worldwide efforts so far on the identification of potential tomato wild accessions for resistance to TYLCD.
Out of more than accessions of 13 wild tomato species, about accessions showed a symptomless response to TYLCD infection, either by agroinfiltration or by natural whitefly infection. Virus replication was detected in most symptomless accessions identified by agroinfiltration, showing that these examined accessions are not immune to TYLCV.
Meanwhile, by summarizing to date the breeding efforts in breeding tomato with TYLCV resistance, we demonstrated that a very small number of resources has been used as resistance genitors in commercial cultivars. TYLCV has a great potential to change due to factors including virus recombination, mutations, additions of satellite and invasion of exogenous whitefly species Nawaz-ul-Rehman and Fauquet, ; Czosnek and Ghanim, ; Hosseinzadeh et al.
Therefore, the TYLCV symptomless accessions identified in this study represent a treasure of resources to tomato breeders. It should be noted that majority of the accessions was screened in the field using whitefly-mediated natural inoculation.
For some accessions symptomless plants may have occurred due to escape or avoidance of whitefly infection. Therefore, the true TYLCV resistance should be determined by retesting these symptomless accessions with controlled inoculation approaches as well as by quantifying virus titers.
Here, we discuss several issues in the context with follow-up studies and with the further use of these accessions for breeding purpose. Previous screening studies on S. The resistance was overcome under graft-inoculated conditions for the same accessions Azizi et al. Similar results were obtained in the present study for S. These results indicate that symptomless response of S. In various wild tomato species, the presence of glandular trichomes on the leaf surface contributes to whitefly resistance by entrapping the whiteflies, and thereby possibly changing their feeding behavior Momotaz et al.
In Solanum spp. Thus, accessions displaying natural resistance against the transmission vector may not be resistant to its transmittable viral species. Before using these symptomless accessions identified upon whitefly natural infection, it is worthwhile to test the selected accessions with the viral species under investigation using Agrobacterium-mediated inoculation.
In screenings worldwide, accessions were tested with the virus strain that was endemic to the area. This approach likely contributes to the identification of strain-specific resistant accessions that may benefit regional breeding programs. In the field, mixed infections frequently occur. While, in controlled artificial inoculation the viral strain is known. For example, S. However, it was symptomatic in the field with natural whitefly infection.
We did not determine the virus strains present in the field in China. In addition, plants are continuously exposed to large whitefly populations in the field. TYLCV incidence and severity may be influenced by the level of disease pressure. Therefore, in the case of S. Almost all of the screened accessions of S.
In multiple S. Accessions LA and LA also carry other genetic factors i. We showed the resistance in three additional S. One is that other Ty -genes, such as Ty-4 and Ty-6 may be present in these accessions. In our previous studies, we have identified three aa which are specific to S. Based on these results, Ty-1 and Ty-3 allele-specific markers can be further developed as in-gene markers for more precise screenings in different breeding programs. Further, as the Ty-2 and ty-5 genes are also cloned Lapidot et al.
These accessions, together with the other four symptomless accessions S. Introgression of resistance from wild tomato species into cultivated tomatoes is the common practice for TYLCV resistance breeding.
Many, if not most, tested accessions remained vigorous and completely symptomless during the whole screening period Figure 1. This makes S. Besides S. A new wild tomato species segregated from S. Only four accessions of S. Thus S. In addition to crossing barriers, introgression can be hindered by chromosomal inversions between the wild resistant donor and the cultivated tomato such as the inversion present in S. Chromosomal rearrangements lead to suppression of recombination, resulting in linkage drag.
In the case of Ty-1 , traits with negative effects on several agronomic traits have been introduced along with Ty-1 due to linkage drag Rubio et al. This makes this species very suitable for breeding programs. Therefore, in this study, great efforts have been made on the screening of S. However, the majority of the tested accessions displayed severe levels of susceptibility.
Only one S. In summary, this is the first time that such a large scale screening has been performed to uncover TYLCV resistance symptomless and susceptibility symptomatic in wild tomato germplasm. The majority of the symptomless accessions identified in this study have never been reported before in publications. Moreover, the other merit of this study is the summary of previous efforts on screening and using wild tomato accessions in breeding for TYLCV resistance.
Finally, with few S. Therefore, this work constitutes a treasure of knowledge for the breeder who is urged to extend the very limited germplasm used to date as a donor for TYLCV resistance in commercial cultivars. The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest.
Representatives of different tomato wild species are shown displaying variations in their symptom severity. From left to right are accessions corresponding to different Solanum species: S. For each accession, two different individuals are shown. Sequences of S. Unique amino acids present in either LA or LA are highlighted in yellow. Analyses were performed at 55 days post inoculation in young tissues of three tested individuals of each accession.
