Attachment
The report details about the identification of resistances to tospo viruses affecting capsicums in Australia and the integration of resistance in capsicum breeding material. Research identified a single gene for natural Capsicum chlorisis virus resistance in wild capsicum stock, lines with this gene were cross-bred with lines that had a natural resistance to tomato spotted wilt virus, creating cultivars that demonstrate resistance to both viruses.
