Tomato Breeding – Disease Resistances

As part of the general breeding efforts for tomato disease resistances in general, and for the ToBRFV in particular, Philoseed breeders are performing field infection tests of young seedlings followed by observations for the disease symptom of each plant.

ToBRFV Resistant Vs. Susceptible

Philoseed Is Progressing With Its Breeding Activities Toward High Resistant Tomato Hybrids For Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus – ToBRFV. The Breeding For The High Resistance Is Assisted By Molecular Tools Developed By NRGene.

Better Defense for Better Tomatoes

Read On Seed World As Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus infects tomato and pepper plants across the globe, seed companies are working on breeding a resistant tomato. Thousands of years ago, when farmers in South America began domesticating tomato’s wild ancestors, Solanum pimpinellifolium, they were working with weedy-looking plants that produced small albeit intensely flavored fruit. …
