Tomato brown Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) first appeared in 2014 in Jordan and Israel. In our country, it started to be seen in greenhouses in 2019. Seeds, fruit and leaves, plant debris and weeds infected with Tomato brown Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) are sources of inoculum. It is carried and spread by contact (contaminated hands, clothing, direct plant-to-plant contact, tool equipment used in the greenhouse) and propagation materials.

As Antalya-based Anamas Seed R&D Center, it has started to work on resistance to this virus since the first day the virus was reported. As a result of the scans made on the tomato gene pool owned by the company, tolerant lines and tolerant varieties obtained from these lines were obtained.

In particular, it has been observed that tomato plants tested in accordance with the reports from our country and different countries (Italy, Spain and Middle East Countries) have different tolerance levels.
