Abstract<\/b>
\nTomatoes are a global industry worth $1.4 billion, with North Carolina contributing $35 million annually from 3,200 acres of cultivated land.\u00a0 The breeding objectives of the NC State Tomato Breeding program include improving their disease resistance and fruit quality.\u00a0 In North Carolina, bacterial wilt (BW), bacterial spot (BSx), bacterial speck (BSp), early blight (EB), fusarium wilt (FW), late blight (LB), septoria leaf spot (SLS), tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV), and root-knot nematodes (RKN) are important diseases to be addressed.\u00a0 Although significant progress has been made, especially on fresh-market tomatoes, we must continue breeding efforts to tackle the newly emerging issues of pests and diseases.\u00a0 For instance, the outbreak of tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) in the Summer of 2018 highlights the importance of continuously improving tomatoes for ToMV resistance.\u00a0 Tomatoes face similar issues, including bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases.\u00a0 Fruit quality is measured by parameters such as lycopene and flavor.\u00a0 In this presentation, we will discuss the ongoing breeding efforts to address these issues in tomatoes, using both conventional and molecular breeding approaches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
