The present invention further relates to a resistance gene or genomic sequence providing resistance to Tospovirus. Furthermore, the present invention relates to methods for providing a S. lycopersicum plant that is resistant to Tospovirus.

The present invention relates to a hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome at least one copy of the Rug-1 resistance gene, wherein said Rug-1 resistance gene is capable of conferring a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) tolerance/resistance phenotype. The present invention further relates to a seed produced by the plant according to the present invention, a seed from which a plant according to present invention can be grown, a fruit produced by a plant according to the present invention and a part of a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a plant or plant part according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for producing a Solanum lycopersicum plant having a ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype of a Solanum lycopersicum plant, the use of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype in a Solanum lycopersicum plant and the use of a genetic marker specific of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for selecting a Solanum lycopersicum plant having an enhanced ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype.

Present invention relates to a virus resistant solanaceous plant, a solanaceous plant cell, and a method for producing the solanaceous plant, and the solanaceous plant has inhibitory properties against: infection by a virus of genus Begomovirus causing tomato yellow leaf curl symptoms, proliferation of the infected virus, and/or expression of infection symptoms. The present invention provides a solanaceous plant having a mutation in at least one gene selected from a group consisting of translation initiation factor eIF4E gene, receptor-like kinase RLK gene, coatomer complex deltaCOP gene, nuclear shuttle protein interactor NSI gene, and genes homologous thereto. The mutation in such a solanaceous plant either inhibits the expression of the mutated gene or makes a protein encoded by the mutated gene to be non-functional for the virus, and the solanaceous plant has virus resistance against the above-mentioned virus.

The present invention relates to a Solanum lycopersicum seed designated 72-CK0620 RZ. The present invention also relates to a Solanum lycopersicum plant produced by growing the 72-CK0620 RZ seed. The invention further relates to methods for producing the tomato cultivar, represented by tomato variety 72-CK0620 RZ.

The present invention relates to a hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome at least one copy of the Rug-1 resistance gene, wherein said Rug-1 resistance gene is capable of conferring a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) tolerance/resistance phenotype. The present invention further relates to a seed produced by the plant according to the present invention, a seed from which a plant according to present invention can be grown, a fruit produced by a plant according to the present invention and a part of a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a plant or plant part according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for producing a Solanum lycopersicum plant having a ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype of a Solanum lycopersicum plant, the use of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype in a Solanum lycopersicum plant and the use of a genetic marker specific of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for selecting a Solanum lycopersicum plant having an enhanced ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype.

The present invention relates to a modified CCA gene which encodes a CCA-adding enzyme, which modified CCA gene leads to resistance against a positive-strand RNA virus having a TLS, wherein the modified CCA gene comprises a gene comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a CCA-adding enzyme, a gene comprising a promoter sequence, or a gene comprising a nucleotide sequence that encodes a CCA-adding enzyme having a deletion, a substitution, or an insertion of at least one amino acid. The invention further relates to plants and seeds comprising the modified genes, methods for making and identifying such plants and use of the gene.
