Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a globally significant plant pathogen infecting more than 1,000 species and causing billion-dollar crop losses annually. The emergence of resistance-breaking (RB) strains has undermined single-gene resistance conferred by Sw-5b in tomato and Tsw in pepper, threatening durable resistance strategies. However, genomic and phenotypic characterization of novel RB strains...
