Effect of Low-Dose Gamma Irradiation and Cold plasma on Seed-Borne Transmission of Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus in Tomato
Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a highly virulent tobamovirus, poses a major threat to global tomato production by overcoming host resistance and traditional control measures. This study evaluates the efficacy of low-dose gamma irradiation (15 Gy) and cold plasma treatment in reducing ToBRFV contamination in tomato seeds.
