Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation This is the first report of Tomato brown rugose fruit virus in Europe and outside countries of the Near East.
- Observation Unusual fruit and leaf symptoms were observed in numerous commercial tomato greenhouses in the Lower Rhine region of North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany.
- Observation More than 25 ha of greenhouse tomatoes were affected.
- Observation Electron microscopy showed filamentous virus-like particles later identified as Pepino mosaic virus Chile 2 strain and particles with a tobamovirus-like structure.
- Observation RT-PCR with universal tobamovirus primers gave amplicons of the expected size of about 560 bp for all symptomatic samples.
- Observation Blastn analysis of the sequenced PCR products revealed 100% nucleotide identity to Tomato brown rugose fruit virus.
- Observation Genome sequences of two German ToBRFV isolates showed 99.6% nucleotide sequence identity to each other.
- Observation ToBRFV was isolated from a mixed infection with PepMV by passage on Chenopodium murale.
- Observation Tomato plants inoculated with C. murale sap showed the same leaf symptoms as originally observed.
- Method / resource The ToBRFV isolate P12-3G was deposited as PV-1236 in the DSMZ Plant Virus Collection.
