Summary
Tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD), primarily caused by begomoviruses, is a pressing issue for tomato growers worldwide, severely impacting yields.
One of the key strategies to manage TYLCD involves the introduction of resistance genes, which could potentially enhance the resilience of tomato plants against this disease.
Research into the integration of two resistance genes may provide a valuable avenue for developing more effective virus-resistant tomato varieties.
