Development of Stable Infectious cDNA Clones of Tomato Black Ring Virus Tagged with Green Fluorescent Protein

“…The virus can be easily transmitted mechanically by nematodes ( Longidorus attenuates , L. elongatus ) and through seeds, which promotes the dissemination of the virus over long distances [ 18 , 19 ]. Since its first description in 1946 in the UK, the TBRV has been found in 40 countries [ 18 , 20 ]. There have been many reports of significant damage caused by TBRV infection to several important hosts, e.g., artichokes and grapevines, reaching 40% and 60% of yield losses, respectively [ 21 , 22 ].…”

“…Tomato black ring virus (TBRV) is a member of the Nepovirus genus (subgroup B) in the family Secoviridae, which infects over 90 species, including important crops, berry fruits, ornamental, herbaceous, and woody plants [18]. On infected host plants, the TBRV causes Viruses 2024, 16, 125 2 of 13 mosaic or necrosis on the leaves, with the most characteristic symptoms of necrotic rings on the leaves and fruits.…”
