Article Abstract
Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) occurs worldwide and causes production losses in many important horticultural crops such as tomato and pepper. Breeding resistant cultivars has been the most successful method so far for TSWV disease control, but only two genes have been found to confer resistance against a wide spectrum of TSWV isolates: Sw-5 in tomato and Tsw in pepper. However, TSWV resistance-breaking isolates have emerged in different countries a few years after using resistant cultivars. In this paper, we report the first complete nucleotide sequences of three Spanish TSWV isolates with different biotypes according to their abilities to overcome resistance: LL-N.05 (wild type, WT), Pujol1TL3 (Sw-5 resistance breaking, SBR) and PVR (Tsw resistance-breaking, TBR). The genome of these TSWV isolates consisted of three segments: L (8913-8914 nt), M (4752-4825 nt) and (S 2924-2961 nt). Variations in nucleotide sequences and genomic RNA lengths among the different virus biotypes are reported here. Phylogenetic analysis of the five TSWV open reading frames showed evidence of reassortment between genomic segments of LL-N.05 and Pujol1TL3, which was supported by analysis with different recombination-detecting algorithms.

Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) is a major plant pathogen causing significant economic losses in tomato production worldwide. Understanding its genetic diversity and evolutionary mechanisms is crucial for effective disease management. This study analyzed TSWV isolates from symptomatic tomato plants collected across Croatia, Montenegro and Slovenia between 2020 and 2024.

[tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV)] is a major pathogen in horticultural and row crops worldwide including the USA. In this study, tomato spotted wilt disease incidence was monitored in (peanut; year 1990 to 2024) and (tobacco; year 2000 to 2024) in commercial farmers' fields in the Southeastern USA. Furthermore, nucleocapsid (N), nonstructural movement (NSm) and nonstructural silencing suppressor (NSs) protein gene sequences of TSWV global populations from North America, South America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and Australia were compared with local US population and analysed to understand the genetic variability in the virus genome.

Mixed infections of plant viruses are commonly found in natural patho-systems and present a valuable opportunity to understand how multiple viruses can co-infect the same host. Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) and impatiens necrotic spot orthotospovirus (INSV) are present in the same geographic areas and are closely related. More mixed infections of TSWV and INSV have been reported in recent years, and the INSV host range has been reported to be increasing.

Background: Tomato-spotted wilt virus (TSWV) from the Tospovirus genus affects over 1000 plant species, including key crops, and traditional control methods often prove inadequate. This study investigates the effectiveness of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and Bacillus subtilis in reducing TSWV infection, enhancing plant growth, and strengthening defense in Nicotiana benthamiana. The aim is to assess Bacillus as a sustainable biocontrol alternative, offering an eco-friendly solution for managing TSWV disease in agriculture.

Tomato spotted wilt orthotospovirus (TSWV) causes substantial economic loss to tomato production, and the Sw-5b resistance gene is widely deployed for management. Here, we show (i) the emergence of resistance-breaking (RB) TSWV strains in processing and fresh market tomato production in California over the past ten years, and (ii) evolutionary relationships with RB strains from other areas. A specific RT-PCR test was used to show the C118Y RB strain that emerged in Fresno County in 2016 quickly became predominant in the central production area and remained so through this study.
