Yuksel Seeds against ToBRFV: Resistant Varieties with High Performance
The tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) poses a serious threat to global tomato production. Highly contagious and resilient under various environmental conditions, this virus can cause fruit deformation, discoloration, and significant yield loss—impacting both growers and consumers.
Aware of the virus's impact on agriculture, Yuksel Seeds has been working intensively for years to combat ToBRFV. Leveraging our accumulated experience and close collaboration between our breeding teams and researchers, we have developed advanced breeding programs focused on resistance to ToBRFV.
Every year, we analyze over 2,000 parental lines and nearly 1,000 new tomato varieties in our laboratories and trial fields. Using techniques such as molecular markers, pathological testing, and trials in infected areas, we have identified lines with high resistance to the virus. These varieties have undergone rigorous validation processes, both in laboratory settings and under real greenhouse and field conditions.
In addition to resistance, we have prioritized agronomic performance, testing varieties in multiple regions to ensure strong adaptation and productivity. As a result, we have developed and registered tomato varieties that combine proven resistance to ToBRFV with high yield, now available to our growers.
At Yuksel Seeds, we understand that the primary method of controlling viral diseases is through the use of resistant varieties. That’s why we continue to invest in innovation and genetic improvement to provide farmers with long-term, reliable solutions.
