Screening of Solanum (sections Lycopersicon and Juglandifolia) germplasm for reactions to the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV).

ABSTRACT: The reaction of 636 Solanum (sections Lycopersicon and Juglandifolia) accessions were evaluated under greenhouse conditions after mechanical inoculation with a Jordanian isolate of the new tobamovirus tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV). Local and systemic infections were assayed by symptoms evaluation and virus detection via biotests and RT-PCR. All cultivated tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) and the great majority of wild tomato accessions proved susceptible to ToBRFV. They showed a wide range of symptoms (mosaic, leaf deformations, mottling, shoestring, and stunting). Twenty-six accessions representing S. lycopersicum var. cerasiforme, S. pimpinellifolium, S. habrochaites, and S. chilense were tolerant. High levels of resistanc
