A researcher, Tieme Helderman, has made strides in controlling the tomato bronze spot virus (TSWV) in fruit vegetable crops, a problematic virus especially in peppers and tomatoes due to transmission through thrips. Helderman's research targets the virus's reliance on host proteins for replication, identifying critical proteins and potentially providing a sustainable resistance strategy. His findings, obtained during his doctorate at the University of Amsterdam, could be utilized by breeding companies to develop sustainable TSWV resistance in various crops.

Posted: 20/10/2021 Save as favorite Researcher Tieme Helderman has managed to take the first steps in the sustainable control of the tomato bronze spot virus (TSWV) in fruit vegetable crops. Breeding companies can use the acquired knowledge in the coming years to work on sustainable resistance to TSVW in these crops. On Tuesday October 19, Helderman obtained his doctorate at the University of Amsterdam. TSWV is particularly problematic in the cultivation of peppers and tomatoes, but almost every crop is susceptible to the virus. The virus is transmitted through thrips. The main transmitter of the TSWV is the Californian thrips. Helderman's research intervenes in the weak spot of the virus. Viruses cannot reproduce on their own and need a host to do so. In a virus infection in the plant, the virus recruits proteins from the host to replicate itself. All the genes that make these proteins in the plant are switched off, so that the virus can reproduce less well or not at all. ...
