Emergence and diversity of begomoviruses infecting solanaceous crops in East and Southeast Asia

Tomato Leaf Curl Sudan Virus (TLCSDV) causing leaf curl disease on a new host Amaranthus cruentus L.

“…Apart from that, it is also suspected that there may the introduction and spread of begomovirus species from outside the region probably through the human movement, of infected plant materials, introduction of tolerant and susceptible tomato cultivars and climatic condition in the localized regions also promoted the favorable condition for the whiteflies vector and allowed the spread of the viruses in new areas (Kenyon et al, 2014). Here, it is ascertained the association of a begomovirus and the satellite molecules with leaf curl disease from Saudi Arabia.…”

“…The dicotyledonous plants are infected by begomovirus transmitted by whitefly vector (Bemisia tabaci) in a persistent manner. Globally, the whiteflies have become serious pathogens for many dicotyledonous crops in tropical, sub-tropical and warmer temperate regions and mostly Solanaceous crops are being affected by begomovirus in East and Southeast Asia (Kenyon et al, 2014;Idris and Brown 2005). The whitefly posing a serious threat to global food security and there is an urgent need to develop effective strategies to control crop loss and manage the begomoviral disease.…”

“…), and eggplants (Solanum melongena L.), in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world (Kenyon et al, 2014).

With the increasing international importance of leaf curl disease in tomatoes, immense efforts have been made to identify resistance mechanisms to tomato leaf curl disease and incorporate these mechanisms into improved tomato cultivars (Kenyon et al, 2014). To date, five major genes for resistance or tolerance to Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) (Ty-1-Ty-5) have been identified in wild tomato relatives, and some major genes have been incorporated into commercial cultivars in different areas (Anbinder et al, 2009;Hutton et al, 2012;Ji et al, 2007Ji et al, , 2009Lapidot et al, 2015;Verlaan et al, 2013;Zamir et al, 1994).…”

However, resistance to begomovirus infection is much less advanced in peppers compared to tomatoes, and there are as yet no commercial pepper cultivars carrying resistance or tolerance to begomovirus infection (Kenyon et al, 2014).…”
