First Report of Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus in Tomato Crops in China

Complete Genome Sequence of a Tomato-Infecting Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus in New York.

The complete genome sequence of an isolate of tomato mottle mosaic virus (ToMMV) infecting tomatoes in New York was obtained using small RNA (sRNA) deep sequencing. ToMMV_NY-13 shared 99% sequence identity with isolates from Mexico and Florida. Broader distribution of this emerging virus is a cause for concern to the tomato industry.

Complete Genome Sequence of a Tomato Mottle Mosaic Virus Isolate from the United States

Tomato mottle mosaic virus was recently reported from the United States following its original description from Mexico as a novel Tobamovirus species. We present the first complete genome sequence of a tomato mottle mosaic virus isolate from the United States.

Disease Note First Report of Tomato Infectious Chlorosis Virus from Tomato in Apulia, Southern Italy

A severe disease of tomato was observed in 2010 in a greenhouse in the province of Lecce (Apulia, southern Italy). Plants showed interveinal yellowing and thickening of mature leaves and a bushy appearance of the new growth. Pale-yellow spots, which became sunken and necrotic, were scattered on the fruit surface. Leaf symptoms were reminiscent of those induced by Tomato chlorosis virus (ToCV) o...

Detection of Tobacco mosaic virus and Tomato mosaic virus in pepper and tomato by multiplex RT-PCR.

AIMS To develop a highly sensitive and rapid protocol for simultaneous detection and differentiation of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) and Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) in pepper and tomato. In this study, we use the multiplex PCR technique to detect dual infection of these two viruses. METHODS AND RESULTS A multiplex RT-PCR method consisting of one-tube reaction with two primer pairs targeted to re...
