The emerging problem of tospovirus infection and nonconventional methods of control.
The emergence of tospoviruses as a significant problem in the cultivation of many crops around the world makes it vital to develop strategies to restrain these viruses. So far, only a few natural resistance genes suitable for introduction into plant breeding programs have been identified, prompting the exploitation of alternative ways of introducing virus resistance into crop plants, such as genetic modifications.
