We found a solution! We found a solution for tomato growers to beat the devastating Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV). Our tomato breeding team has identified the gene that provides high resistance to the worldwide rapidly spreading virus. A major breakthrough!

First in the world. Our researchers believe this gene is like no other currently known in the field, and offers “high resistance” to ToBRFV, also called tobamo after its genus.

With this innovation, the introduction of ToBRFV resistance will potentially secure production for the tomato industry, from large multinationals through to smallholder farmers who all cultivate what is currently the most traded vegetable internationally.
