Abstract

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) and tomato mottle virus (ToMoV), are both geminiviruses, and are considered major limiting factors in the commercially grown tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) in Florida and the Middle East (1). These viruses have been identified as reducing yields and/or reducing fruit quality in an infected crop. TYLCV appears to have originated in Old World and has been recently identified in Florida (1). ToMoV was originally identified in Florida and has since been found throughout the Southeastern United States (2).
