What is Resistance Breeding for Tomato Viruses about?

This document discusses breeding for resistance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and Tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) in tomatoes. It provides background on the viruses, noting that TYLCV and ToLCV are caused by geminiviruses transmitted by whiteflies. Symptoms in tomatoes include stunting, leaf yellowing and curling, and low or no fruit yields. The document then discusses management strategies for the viruses, emphasizing breeding resistant tomato cultivars as the most effective long-term approach.
