Development of Stable Infectious cDNA Clones of Tomato Black Ring Virus Tagged with Green Fluorescent Protein

“…Tomato black ring virus (TBRV) is a member of the Nepovirus genus (subgroup B) in the family Secoviridae, which infects over 90 species, including important crops, berry fruits, ornamental, herbaceous, and woody plants [ 18 ]. On infected host plants, the TBRV causes mosaic or necrosis on the leaves, with the most characteristic symptoms of necrotic rings on the leaves and fruits.…”

“…On infected host plants, the TBRV causes mosaic or necrosis on the leaves, with the most characteristic symptoms of necrotic rings on the leaves and fruits. The virus can be easily transmitted mechanically by nematodes ( Longidorus attenuates , L. elongatus ) and through seeds, which promotes the dissemination of the virus over long distances [ 18 , 19 ]. Since its first description in 1946 in the UK, the TBRV has been found in 40 countries [ 18 , 20 ].…”

Since its first description in 1946 in the UK, the TBRV has been found in 40 countries [ 18 , 20 ]. There have been many reports of significant damage caused by TBRV infection to several important hosts, e.g., artichokes and grapevines, reaching 40% and 60% of yield losses, respectively [ 21 , 22 ].…”
