Article Abstract
Plant viruses of the genus cause significant economic losses in various crops. The emergence of new tobamoviruses such as the tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) poses a major threat to global agriculture. Upon infection, plants mount a complex immune response to restrict virus replication and spread, involving a multilayered defense system that includes defense hormones, RNA silencing, and immune receptors. To counter these defenses, tobamoviruses have evolved various strategies to evade or suppress the different immune pathways. Understanding the interactions between tobamoviruses and the plant immune pathways is crucial for the development of effective control measures and genetic resistance to these viruses. In this review, we discuss past and current knowledge of the intricate relationship between tobamoviruses and host immunity. We use this knowledge to understand the emergence of ToBRFV and discuss potential approaches for the development of new resistance strategies to cope with emerging tobamoviruses.

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) overcomes all known tomato resistance genes, including the durable Tm-2, posing a serious threat to global tomato production. Here, we employed in vitro random mutagenesis to evolve the Tm-2 leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain and screened ∼8,000 variants for gain-of-function mutants capable of recognizing the ToBRFV movement protein (MP) and triggering hypersensitive cell death. We identified five such mutants.

Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) severely impairs plant growth, leading to significant economic losses in the production of various Solanaceae crops, including tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and pepper (Caspicum annuum). To investigate TMV resistance mechanisms, we analyzed the transcriptomic and metabolomic profiles of susceptible (K326) and resistant (R_K326) tobacco lines. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that the number of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in R_K326 was about 2 times higher than in K326 at 9 days post-inoculation (dpi), suggesting a greater involvement of defense-related genes in the resistant line.

Although biopesticides possess advantages such as target specificity and environmental friendliness, their inconsistent efficacy under field conditions significantly hinders large-scale adoption and application. fTDP, a protein obtained by prokaryotic fusion expression system, is capable of inducing systemic acquired resistance (SAR) in plants, thereby inhibiting tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) infection and demonstrating significant potential for development as an antiviral biopesticide. In this study, chitosan nanoparticles, loaded with fTDP (CSNPs-fTDP) were prepared by ionic gelation to address the instability of fTDP proteins in field applications.
