Viral mosaics of tomato (interspecific hybrids)

hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner

Interspecific hybrids of Solanum lycopersicum and S. habrochaites are used in breeding as carriers of resistance genes to viral mosaics caused by tobamoviruses and other pathogens.

In the reference 62 varieties crop hybrids between Solanum lycopersicum L. and S. habrochaites S. Knapp & D.M. Spooner, where this is mentioned in the description.

The pathogens causing viral mosaics in interspecific tomato hybrids include Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV), and Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). The diseases manifest as characteristic mottling of leaves, deformation of the leaf blade, rugosity, and general stunting of the plants.

The wild species Solanum habrochaites serves as a key source of genetic resistance, which is introgressed into the genotype of the cultivated tomato. In particular, the Tm-1 gene, which provides resistance to certain strains of ToMV, was identified specifically in this species. To ensure the protection of hybrids, pyramiding of various genes, including Tm-2 and Tm-2², is also employed.
