YOUTH 2: Efficacy trial of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) vaccine
FY 2022-23 · 2022-11-14
Summary
The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging disease threatening tomato industry by deteriorating fruit quality, reducing shelf life and making fruits unmarketable from 30% to 70%. ToBRFV can overcome all known genetic resistance genes resulting in all commercial tomato varieties being susceptible to the virus. Efforts to manage ToBRFV currently focus on using certified seed and maintaining strict biosecurity and sanitation practices. We have developed some attenuated ToBRFV strains that will be tested for the efficacy to protect tomato plants from the infection of wild-type ToBRFV in a commercial greenhouse.

Description
The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) is an emerging disease threatening tomato industry by deteriorating fruit quality, reducing shelf life and making fruits unmarketable from 30% to 70%.

Description (French)
Le virus du fruit rugueux brun de la tomate (ToBRFV) est une maladie émergente qui menace l’industrie de la tomate en détériorant la qualité des fruits, en réduisant leur durée de conservation et en les rendant invendables de 30 à 70 %. Le ToBRFV peut surmonter tous les gènes de résistance génétique connus, de sorte que toutes les variétés commerciales de tomates sont sensibles au virus. Les efforts pour gérer le ToBRFV se concentrent actuellement sur l’utilisation de semences certifiées et le maintien de pratiques strictes de biosécurité et d’assainissement. Nous avons développé des souches atténuées du ToBRFV qui seront testées pour leur efficacité à protéger les plants de tomates contre l’infection du ToBRFV de type sauvage dans une serre commerciale.
