#VirusResistance
When I joined the @volcaniinstitute.bsky.social, I began a wonderful collaboration with the Lapidot lab. I'm very happy to share the first publication from our collaboration, now published at @newphyt.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/nph....

<fc>PELOTA</fc> at the crossroads of tomato fertility and viral resistance
PELOTA (PELO), a conserved ribosome surveillance factor underlying the tomato resistance allele ty-5, plays key roles in TYLCV susceptibility and reproductive development. Complete loss of PELO funct...

Scientists revived a 1990s tomato line (NN) with the tobacco N gene that resists tomato brown rugose fruit virus, showing strongest resistance at 22 °C but weaker at 30 °C. https://getnews.me/90s-tomato-line-shows-promise-against-devasturing-virus/ #tomatoes #virusresistance #plantbreeding

We identified 23 durum wheat varieties resistant to soil-borne viruses on the rise due to climate change, and found the genomic regions linked to resistance to them. Great teamwork by IBBA-CNR, IPSP-CNR & Uni Bari!
