Severe outbreaks of tomato yellow leaf curl disease occurred during summer and autumn 1999 in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) crops in the Vecindario Region of Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, Spain) and Agadir (southwestern Atlantic coast of Morocco). Symptoms of the disease included upward curling of leaflet margins, reduction of leaflet area, and yellowing of young leaves, as well as stunting and flower abortion. High populations of whiteflies, Bemisia tabaci Gen., were present on tomatoes in Agadir, and analysis of adult individuals by random amplified polymorphic DNA-polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) identified them as the biotype Q. Samples were collected from symptomatic tomato plants: 5 plants from Gran Canaria and 22 from three areas in Agadir, (7 from Agadir/1, 12 from Agadir/2, and 3 from Agadir/3) in the Koudya Region. Samples were analyzed for Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) Sar or Is (genus Begomovirus, family Geminiviridae) infection by squash blot hybridization under high stringency conditions with digoxigenin-labeled DNA probes specific to TYLCV-Sar or -Is, as described previously (1,3). The TYLCV-Sar probe hybridized to the five samples from Gran Canaria, and the TYLCV-Is probe hybridized to the 22 samples from Agadir. The TYLCV-Sar probe also hybridized to the three samples from Agadir/3. Primer pairs MA-14/MA-15 and MA-30/MA-31, designed for specific amplification of the intergenic region (IR) of TYLCV-Sar or -Is reported from Spain, respectively (1), were used in PCR to amplify one sample each from Gran Canaria, Agadir/1, and Agadir/3. A fragment of the expected size was obtained from the samples from Gran Canaria and Agadir/3 using MA14/MA15 (342 bp) and from the two samples from Agadir using MA30/MA31 (357 bp). PCR products were directly sequenced (GenBank Accession nos. AF215819 to AF215822). The nucleotide sequences of the IR fragments amplified from the Gran Canaria and Agadir/3 sample using MA-14/MA-15 indicated their closest relationship (99.0 and 96.7% identity, respectively) was to the corresponding region of a TYLCV-Sar isolate reported from Spain (GenBank Accession no. L27708). The nucleotide sequences of the IR fragments amplified from the Agadir/1 and Agadir/3 samples using MA-30/MA-31 indicated their closest relationship (98.1% identity) was to the corresponding region of the TYLCV-Is isolate reported from Spain (GenBank Accession no. AF071228). Based on the hybridization and sequence data, we conclude that the symptomatic plants from Gran Canaria were infected by TYLCV-Sar, those from Agadir/1 and Agadir/2 were infected by TYLCV-Is, and those from Agadir/3 had mixed infections with TYLCV-Is and TYLCV-Sar. The presence of TYLCV-Is in Morocco has been described recently (2). However, this is the first report of TYLCV-Sar in the Canary Islands and Morocco and extends its geographic range beyond the Iberian Peninsula and Italy. References: (1) J. Navas-Castillo et al.

Leaf Curl

Epidemics of tomato yellow leaf curl have occurred annually in greenhouse- and field-grown tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) crops in southern Spain since 1992 (2). The nucleotide sequences of two tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) isolates from this region, TYLCV-M (GenBank accession no. Z25751) and TYLCV-Alm (L27708), have been determined and these isolates are closely related to isolates reported from Italy (X61153 and Z28390), suggesting the existence of a geographical cluster of closely related TYLCV isolates in the Western Mediterranean Basin (2). In June 1997, new and unusually severe symptoms of stunting, yellowing, and curling of leaflet margins, with a marked reduction in leaf size, were observed in some plants of a greenhouse-grown tomato crop in Almeria (southeastern Spain). Tomato plants showing milder symptoms similar to those previously described for TYLCV infection in that region (2) were also present in the same greenhouse. Total nucleic acids extracts from plants exhibiting both types of symptoms were analyzed by dot blot hybridization with a probe prepared by random priming on a 1,674-bp SalI fragment of the pSP95 clone of TYLCV-M (3). A strong reaction was obtained with the samples that showed mild symptoms, whereas a weak reaction was observed with the severely affected plants. Specific pairs of primers were prepared to amplify the complete pre-coat (V1) (MA10: 5′-ATGTGGGATCCTTTATTAAATG-3′; MA11: 5′-TCAGGGCTTCTGTACATTC-3′) and C2 (MA12: 5′-TAAAGACTCTTAAAAAATGACC-3′; MA13: 5′-AATGCAATCTTCGTCACC-3′) genes based on TYLCV-M sequence. With polymerase chain reaction (PCR), the expected fragments were amplified from extracts of both types of plants. The PCR products were submitted to single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Clearly distinguishable SSCP patterns were obtained: one for the plants with mild symptoms, identical to that of known TYLCV-M infected plants, and another for the plants with more severe symptoms. Further analyses done on tomato samples collected from the same area showed that both SSCP patterns were present simultaneously in several severely affected plants. The nucleotide sequences of the V1 and C2 PCR products from two samples differing in their SSCP pattern were obtained by direct sequencing, and compared with available TYLCV sequences. The sequences corresponding to the sample with mild symptoms were 100% identical to those previously reported for TYLCV-M. In contrast, the sequences from the sample that showed severe symptoms (GenBank accesion no. AF022219 for V1, and AF022220 for C2) were only 80 and 76% identical to TYLCV-M V1 and C2 genes, respectively, but were 99% identical to the sequence reported for an isolate of TYLCV-Is from Israel (X15656). Epidemics in tomato caused by TYLCV-Is have been recently reported from Portugal (1). Our results demonstrate that the unusually severe symptoms observed are associated with an isolate of TYLCV-Is that coexists in the field with the milder TYLCV previously reported from this area. This is the first report of the occurence of TYLCV-Is in Spain. References: (1) D. Louro et al. Plant Dis. 80:1079, 1996. (2) E. Noris et al. Arch. Virol. 135:165, 1994.

Leaf Curl

In autumn of 1999 and winter-spring 2000, tomato (Lycopersicon) crops grown in the Regions of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Tenerife (Canary Islands) showed upward curling of leaves, yellowing of leaf margins, crumpling of new leaves, reduction of leaflet area, and stunting of shoots. These symptoms were similar to those described for tomato yellow leaf curl disease. Symptomatic samples were collected from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria (33 samples) and Tenerife (45 samples) for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) identification analysis. The degenerate primers pair of Begomovirus (AV494/AC1048) (3) was used to amplify the “core” region of the capsid protein gene. Two tomato plants experimentally infected with Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Is (TYLCVIs) or TYLCV-Sar served as positive controls. Electrophoretic analysis of all samples showed a single fragment of the expected size (550 bp). To identify the type of TYLCV (TYLCV-Sar or TYLCV-Is), the PCR products were digested by endonucleases (AluI, HaeIII, HpaII, RsaI, Sau3A, TaqI, DdeI, and ScrFI). Twenty-six samples from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria showed the same restriction pattern of TYLCV-Sar, and seven samples from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and all 45 samples from Tenerife showed the same restriction pattern of TYLCV-Is. These results confirm that TYLCV-Sar and TYLCV-Is are present in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and TYLCV-Is is present in Tenerife. The presence of TYLCV-Is in Morocco (2) and TYLCV-Sar in the Canary Islands and Morocco has been recently described (1). However, this is the first report of TYLCV-Is in the Canary Islands.

In the early 1990s, the monopartite begomovirus Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) was introduced into the Dominican Republic (DO), and molecular characterization revealed it was an isolate of TYLCV-Israel (TYLCV-IL[DO]) (3,5). In 2006, a study of the variability of TYLCV in DO revealed that TYLCV-IL[DO] was associated with all samples of tomato yellow leaf curl (TYLC) tested and, thus, that the virus had been genetically stable for >15 years (2). However, in 2010 and 2011, 2 of 10 and 11 of 18 samples of TYLC, respectively, were negative for TYLCV infection based upon PCR with the TYLCV-specific primer pair, 2560v (5′-GAGAACAATTGGGATATG-3′)/1480c (5′-AATCATGGATTCACGCAC-3′), which directs the amplification of a ~1.7 kb fragment. In 2011, two such samples from the Azua Valley were tested by PCR with the 1470v (5′-AGTGATGAGTTCCCCTGTGC-3′)/UPC2 primer pair (1), and sequence analysis of the ~0.4 kb fragment amplified from both samples revealed infection with the mild strain of TYLCV (TYLCV-Mld). A primer specific for TYLCV-Mld was designed (2070v, 5′-AAACGGAGAAATATATAAGGAGCC-3′), and PCR with the 2070v/1480c primer pair directed the amplification of the expected ~2.1 kb fragment from all 11 TYLC samples collected in 2011 that were PCR-negative for TYLCV-IL[DO] infection. Sequence analyses confirmed these were TYLCV-Mld fragments. The complete TYLCV-Mld genome was amplified from two samples from the Azua Valley with Templiphi, the amplified DNA products digested with Sal I, and the resulting ~2.8 kb fragments ligated into Sal I-digested pGEM-11. The complete sequences of these isolates were 2,791 nt and 99% identical to each other and 98% identical to sequences of TYLCV-Mld isolates. The TYLCV-Mld isolates from the DO were designated TYLCV-Mld:DO:TY5:01:2011 (KJ913682) and TYLCV-Mld:DO:TY5:02:2011 (KJ913683). A multimeric clone of TYLCV-Mld:DO:TY5:01:2011 was generated in the binary vector pCAMBIA1300 by cloning a 2.2 kb Sal I-EcoRI fragment containing the intergenic region to generate a 0.8-mer (pCTYMld0.8), and then the full-length Sal I fragment was cloned into the Sal I site of pCTYMld0.8 to generate a 1.8-mer (pCTYMldDO-01-1.8). Tomato plants agroinoculated with Agrobacterium tumefaciens carrying pCTYMldDO-01-1.8 developed severe TYLC disease symptoms 10 to 14 days after inoculation, whereas plants inoculated with a strain carrying the empty vector did not develop symptoms. Samples of processing tomatoes with TYLC were collected in 2012 to 2014 in the DO and tested for TYLCV-IL[DO] and TYLCV-Mld by PCR with the 2560v/1480c and 2070v/1480c primers pairs, respectively; these samples had infections of 93% (13/14), 86% (18/21), and 61% (11/18) with TYLCV-Mld; 29% (4/14), 19% (4/21), and 56% (10/18) with TYLCV-IL[DO]; and 21% (3/14), 5% (1/21), and 28% (5/18) with both viruses, respectively. These results reveal that there has been a striking population shift in the begomovirus causing TYLC in the DO, with TYLCV-Mld becoming predominant. This may reflect selection pressure(s) favoring a small pre-existing population of TYLCV-Mld, such as new tomato varieties, or a recent introduction event, such as that described in Venezuela (4).

Leaf Curl

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV, formerly TYLCV-Is) and Tomato yellow leaf curl Sardinia virus (TYLCSV, formerly TYLCV-Sar) are geminivirus species of the genus Begomovirus that cause the disease known as tomato yellow leaf curl. In Spain, TYLCV and TYLCSV have coexisted in field and greenhouse tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) crops since 1996 (2). TYLCV is also the causal agent of the leaf crumple disease of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) (1), a species that TYLCSV is unable to infect (2). Analysis of field samples from common bean plants affected by leaf crumple disease collected in Almería (southeastern Spain) during 1999 showed that, unexpectedly, several samples hybridized with TYLCV- and TYLCSV-specific probes prepared to the intergenic region (IR) as previously described (1). Polymerase chain reactions (PCR) performed with total nucleic acids extracted from one of these samples (ES421/99) using primer pairs specific to the IR of TYLCV (MA-30/MA-31) or TYLCSV (MA-14/MA-15) (1) gave no amplification product. However, the combination of MA-30 (5′ end of TYLCV IR) and MA-15 (3′ end of TYLCSV IR) produced a PCR DNA product of the expected size (351 bp). Direct DNA sequencing of this product (GenBank Accession No. AF401478) indicated the presence of a chimeric IR in ES421/99. Comparison of the obtained sequence with those available for isolates reported from Spain showed that the 5′ side (149 nt) from the stem-loop structure conserved in the IR of all geminiviruses was 99% identical to the corresponding region of TYLCV (GenBank Accession No. AF071228) and only 62% identical to TYLCSV (GenBank Accession No. Z25751). In contrast, the 3′ side (124 nt) from the stem-loop was 98% identical to the corresponding region of TYLCSV and only 57% identical to TYLCV. The 33-nt region involved in the stem-loop was 100% identical to TYLCV and showed one nucleotide change in the loop with respect to TYLCSV. Therefore, this DNA sequence data showed evidence of the occurrence in ES421/99 of a natural recombination between TYLCV and TYLCSV. The biological and epidemiological consequences of the presence of this new interspecific recombinant have yet to be determined. References: (1) J. Navas-Castillo et al. Plant Dis. 83:29, 1999.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a major constraint to tomato production in Spain. This virus was observed for the first time in several tomato fields in Murcia (Spain) in the autumn of 1992 and Canary Islands in 1999. Currently the virus is prevalent along the Mediterranean coast of Spain (provinces of Málaga, Granada, Almería, Murcia, Alicante, Valencia, and Barcelona) and in the Canary Islands. Two viral species have been identified in Spain, TYLCV-Sar in 1992 and TYLCV-Is in 1997. TYLCV-Is is more severe than TYLCV-Sar and produces the greatest economic losses. Curling of leaflets, yellowing, and growth reduction are more pronounced in plants infected with TYLCV-Is than in those infected with TYLCV-Sar. In order to study the presence and behavior of both viral species in the affected area, over 1,320 tomato plants were sampled. DNA was extracted from the samples and analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification. The degenerate primer pair for Begomovirus detection (AV494/AC1048) (2) was used to amplify the core region of the capsid protein gene. The amplified fragments were later analysed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) with HaeIII enzyme to differentiate between TYLCV-Is and TYLCV-Sar species. The results showed that TYLCV-Sar (43.4%) and TYLCV-Is (56.6%) coexist in tomato crops and, in contrast with previous results (1), displacement of TYLCV-Sar for TYLCV-Is was observed. A search for the alternative hosts that may serve as virus reservoirs in areas where the virus is prevalent involved testing 210 samples of 95 species of weeds by PCR, with the same primers. The following species were found to be infected: Conyza sumatrensis (Retz.) E. Walker, Convolvulus sp., Cuscuta sp., Chenopodium murale L., Datura stramonium L., Dittrichia viscosa (L.) W. Greuter, Malva parviflora L., and Solanum nigrum L. This is the first reference of C. sumatrensis, Convolvulus sp., Cuscuta sp., and Ch. murale as natural hosts of TYLCV. These plants were symptomless. References: (1) S. Sanchez-Campos et al. Phytopathology 89:1038, 1999. (2) S. D. Wyatt et al. Phytopathology 86:1288, 1996.

One of the most important invasive and harmful members of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae) is the monopartite Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV), which is widespread over the world associated with tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD). Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants infected with TYLCV show upward leaf curling and yellowing. In Latin America, isolates of TYLCV have been reported from Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico (1), Guatemala (GenBank Accession No. GU355941), and Venezuela (partial genome sequence DQ302033). In Costa Rica, only isolates of the bipartite begomoviruses Tomato leaf curl Sinaloa virus (TLCSiV) (3) and Tomato yellow mottle virus (KC176780, KC176781) have been reported infecting tomatoes. During a survey conducted in 2012, similar begomovirus-like symptoms (leaf yellowing and upward leaf curling) were observed in tomato plants of five commercial growing areas in the Central Valley (Grecia region) of Costa Rica. In total, 65 tomato samples were randomly collected, 14 from greenhouses and 41 from open fields. Symptoms of upward leaf curling and yellowing were observed in three samples. Total DNA was extracted from collected samples and tested by dot blot hybridization using a probe to the coat protein (CP) gene of a Guatemalan isolate of Bean golden yellow mosaic virus (3). Only the three symptomatic samples tested positive, which represents an incidence of 14% (2 samples) in greenhouses and 2.4% (1 sample) in open field crops. These samples were subjected to rolling circle amplification (RCA) for viral circular genome amplification (2). The amplified products were then digested with MspI restriction endonuclease, which resulted into DNA fragments of 2,320 and 458 bp for all three samples. This suggested infection with a monopartite begomovirus. In order to obtain the full-length clone, the RCA product of two samples (5240 and 5241) was digested with BamHI, and the ~2.8 kb DNA fragment was cloned into pBluescript II SK(+) (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA) vector. After transformation of Escherichia coli DH5α, recombinant plasmids with inserts of expected size were selected and the insert was sequenced by primer walking (Macrogen Inc., Korea). The inserts of three clones from the two samples (CR:5240-16:2012, CR:5240-17:2012, and CR:5241-14:2012) were sequenced (deposited in GenBank as KF533855, KF533856, and KF533857, respectively). Sequences were all 2,781 nt long and shared 100% identity between themselves (1-nt mismatch between CR:5240-16:2012 and CR:5240-17:2012, and CR:5240-16:2012 and CR:5241-14:2012; and 2-nt mismatches between CR:5240-17:2012 and CR:5241-14:2012) and 99% with the sequence of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus-Israel[Japan:Haruno:2005] (TYLCV-IL[JR:Har:05]) (AB192966). These sequences represented full length genomes of isolates of the monopartite begomovirus TYLCV-IL and grouped in a phylogenetic clade (4) that comprised TYLCV-IL isolates reported from Asia (China and Japan) and from Mexico, while more distantly related to the clade comprising TYLCV-IL isolates reported from Central America (Cuba, Guatemala, Puerto Rico) and the United States, suggesting a distinct introduction event in Costa Rica. This is the first report of the presence of TYLCV in Costa Rica, therefore it is imperative to study the incidence and geographical spread of this virus in the country as well as its genetic diversity, since TYLCV infections might lead to significant yield losses, as reported in other countries.

During July 2005, approximately 23% of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L. ‘Sebring’) in a commercial field in St. Clair County, Alabama showed symptoms of stunting, leaf deformation, mottling, and reduced leaf size, which resembled symptoms of Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). A high population of whiteflies (Bemisia tabaci) was observed in this field, and as the season progressed, 100% of the plants became symptomatic. During October 2006, similar symptoms in tomato were observed at low incidences (less than 10%) in a commercial greenhouse in Jefferson County. Two samples from St. Clair County and six from Jefferson County were collected and tested for the presence of a begomovirus by PCR using three pairs of primers, PAR1c496 and PAL1v1978, a degenerate primer pair designed to amplify regions of the begomovirus A component, PBL1v2040 and PCRc154, a degenerate primer pair that amplifies a hypervariable region of the begomovirus B component (3), and C473 and PTYC1v2406, which are specific to TYLCV (1,2). Primer pair PAR1c496 and PAL1v1978 produced two amplicons (1,360 and 1,159 bp) in all samples tested, which suggests the presence of a monopartite and bipartite begomovirus. Primer pair pBL1v2040 and PCRc154 produced a 678-bp amplicon that would be consistent with the presence of a bipartite begomovirus. Primer pair C473 and PTYC1v2406 produced an 850-bp amplicon that would be consistent with the presence of TYLCV. Sequence analysis revealed that the 1,360-bp amplicon had 98% sequence identity to isolates of TYLCV from Cuba (GenBank Accession No. AJ223505), the Dominican Republic (GenBank Accession No. (AF04715), Florida (GenBank Accession Nos. AF260331 and AY530931), Egypt (GenBank Accession No. AY594174), and Almeria (GenBank Accession No. AJ489258). The 1,159-bp amplicon had a 97 to 99% sequence identity to the A component of Tomato mottle virus (ToMoV) Florida (GenBank Accession Nos. L14460, EF028241, and M90495) and Puerto Rico (GenBank Accession No. AY965900). Each of the eight tomato samples were shown to be infected with TYLCV and ToMoV. Symptoms of plants infected with both viruses resembled those of TYLCV because the milder symptoms of ToMoV are masked in the field by the more severe symptoms of TYLCV. To our knowledge, this is the first report of ToMoV and TYLCV in the state of Alabama. Reference: (1) M. Ghanim et al. Virology 240:295, 1998. (2) M. K. Nakhla et al. Phytopathol.

Дана информация об изучении коллекции гибридов F1томата (Solanum lycopersicum L.) зарубежной селекции различных фирм-оригинаторов, рекомендованных производителями семян как толерантные к вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата. Все гибриды обладали комплексом хозяйственно ценных признаков и набором генов устойчивости к основным заболеваниям томата, в том числе к новому для юга России опасному патогену с максимальным потенциальным риском – вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата (Tomato yellow leaf curl virus — TYLCV). Исследования проведены в 2017-2018 годах в лаборатории пасленовых культур ООО «НИИСОК» и в лаборатории молекулярной диагностики растений ООО «Семеновод». Всего было протестировано 34 гибрида F1 томата. Гибриды оценивали по совокупности хозяйственно ценных признаков, также проводили молекулярно-генетический анализ на наличие и аллельное состояние основных генов устойчивости: к вирусу табачной мозаики (Tm2а), фузариозному увяданию (I2), вертициллезному увяданию (Ve), к кладоспориозу (Cf9), нематодам (Mi1.2), вирусу бронзовости томата (Sw5), вирусу желтой курчавости листьев томата (Ty3a). Установлено, что все проанализированные гибриды томата с заявленной оригинаторами семян устойчивостью к вирусу желтой курчавости листьев были гетерозиготны по гену Ty3a. На основании проведенных исследований и с учетом требований рынка разработаны модели гибридов F1 томата юга России. Перспективный гибрид томата должен обладать индетерминантным типом роста с укороченными междоузлиями (4,5-5 см) а также хорошей облиственностью. Плоды томата должны быть с красной равномерной окраской без зеленого пятна у плодоножки, с плоскоокруглой или округлой формой плода и со средней массой 220-270 г. Для повышения транспортабельности томатов необходимо, чтобы плоды отличались высокой прочностью и характеризовались хорошей лежкостью. Урожайность гибрида томата должна быть более 30 кг/м2, а товарность - не менее 85%. Гибрид томата должен обладать следующим набором генов устойчивости в гетерозиготном состоянии: Ty3a, Mi1.2, Cf-9, а также в гомозиготном состоянии: Tm2a, I2, Ve. The article provides information on the study of the collection of F1 tomato hybrids (Solanum lycopersicumL.) of foreign breeding from various firms-originators recommended for cultivation in regions with a strong spread of tomato yellow leaf curl virus. All hybrids had a complex of economically valuable traits and a set of genes for resistance to the main diseases of tomato, including a new dangerous pathogen for the South of Russia with a maximum potential risk — the tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). The studies were carried out in 2017-2018 in the Solanaceae Laboratory of LLC NIISOK and in the Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory of Plants of LLC Semenovod. A total of 34 F1 tomato hybrids were tested. The hybrids were assessed by a set of economically valuable traits. Molecular genetic analysis was also carried out for the presence and allelic state of the main resistance genes: Tomato mosaic virus (Tm2a), Fusarium wilt (I2), Werticillium wilt (Ve), Cladosporium fulvum (Cf9), Nematodes (Mi1.2), Tomato spotted wilt virus (Sw5), Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (Ty3a). It was found that all the analyzed tomato hybrids with the declared by seed originators resistance to yellow leaf curl virus were heterozygous for the Ty3a gene. Based on the conducted research and taking into account the market requirements, models of F1 tomato hybrids for protected ground for the South of Russia have been developed. A promising tomato hybrid should have an indeterminate growth type with shortened internodes (4.5-5 cm) and good foliage. Tomato fruits should have a uniform red color without green shoulders, with a flat-round or round shape of the fruit and with an average weight of 220-270 g. To increase the transportability of tomatoes, it is necessary that the fruits are highly firm and characterized by good shelf life. The yield of tomato hybrid should be more than 30 kg/m2, and marketability should be at least 85%. The tomato hybrid should have the following set of resistance genes in a heterozygous state: Ty3a, Mi1.2, Cf-9, and also in a homozygous state: Tm2a, I2, Ve.
