Abstract:
The present disclosure provides tomato plants exhibiting resistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and lacking unfavorable linked traits such as necrosis. Such plants may comprise novel introgressed genomic regions associated with disease resistance from S. chilense. In certain aspects, compositions, including novel polymorphic markers and methods for producing, breeding, identifying, and selecting plants or germplasm with a disease resistance phenotype are provided.
