Abstract

The present invention relates to a tomato, Solanum lycopersicum, plant that is resistant to Tobamovirus, wherein the plant comprises one or more genomic sequences conferring Tobamovirus resistance. More specifically the invention relates to a tomato plant that is resistant to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (TBRFV). The present invention further relates to a genomic sequence or locus providing resistance to Tobamovirus. In addition, the present invention relates to methods for proving a tomato plant that is resistant to Tobamovirus.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A Tobamovirus resistant Solanum lycopersicum plant, wherein the plant comprises a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (TBRFV) resistance gene encoding a TBRFV resistance protein comprising polypeptide sequence SEQ ID NO: 116.

2. The plant of claim 1 , wherein the resistance gene comprises nucleotide sequence SEQ ID NO: 115.

3. The plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant is resistant to Tobamovirus strains Tm0, Tm1, and Tm2.

4. The plant of claim 3 , wherein the plant is resistant to Tobamovirus strain Tm0.

5. The plant of claim 3 , wherein the plant is resistant to Tobamovirus strain Tm1.

6. The plant of claim 3 , wherein the plant is resistant to Tobamovirus strain Tm2.

7. The plant of claim 1 , wherein the plant is resistant to Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (TBRFV).
