Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Recent tomato samples were dominated by TYLCV-derived recombinants such as TYLCV-IS141- and TYLCV-IS76-like variants.
- Observation A distinct group of newly emerged recombinants, provisionally TYLCV-IMS54, was identified in the most recent samples.
- Observation The TYLCV-IMS54 genome contains a 54-nt segment from TYLCSV downstream of the stem-loop region.
- Observation The TYLCV-IMS54 genome contains a 341-nt region derived from TYLCV-Mild on a TYLCV backbone.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that continuous viral population monitoring through ONT-based sequencing is important for detecting emerging variants that may affect disease management in tomato crops.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that recombination plays a central role in shaping begomovirus populations.
