“…For crop resistance, Sw-5b- and Tsw -mediated single gene resistance was deployed in commercial cultivars of tomato and pepper, respectively ( Boiteux and de Ávila, 1994 ; Boiteux, 1995 ; Dianese et al., 2011 ; de Oliveira et al., 2018 ). However, such a resistance has exerted tremendous selection pressure on TSWV, which led to the emergence of resistance breaking (RB) strains worldwide ( Aramburu and Martí, 2003 ; Margaria et al., 2004 ; Ciuffo et al., 2005 ; Sharman and Persley, 2006 ; Margaria et al., 2007 ; Zaccardelli et al., 2008 ; Fidan and Sari, 2019 ; Yoon et al., 2021 ; Almási et al., 2023 ). In the US, tomato-infecting RB strains capable of infecting an array of commercial tomato cultivars have been reported in California, North Carolina, and most recently in Texas by the Gadhave lab ( Batuman et al., 2016 ; Chinnaiah et al., 2023b ; Lahre et al., 2023 ).…”
