Pepino Mosaic Virus: A Globally Important Tomato Pathogen and a Rising Model in Molecular Virology

Key Points

• Cross-protection against PepMV has been shown to be highly effective in managing disease in tomato crops.
• In the absence of commercially available PepMV-resistant varieties, preventive measures are crucial for maintaining tomato production.
• The analysis indicates a need for ongoing research into developing resistant strains to control PepMV effectively.
• Current strategies for disease management underscore the importance of innovative solutions in crop protection against viruses.
