Y. F. Liu, Wan, H. J., Wei, Y. P., Wang, R. Q., Ruan, M. Y., Ye, Q. J., Li, Z. M., Zhou, G. Z., Yao, Z. P., and Yang, Y. J., In silico analysis of gene content in tomato genomic regions mapped to the Ty-2 resistance gene, vol. 14, pp. 7947-7956, 2015.

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus is one of the main diseases affecting tomato production worldwide. Previous studies have shown that Ty-2 is an important resistance gene located between molecular markers C2_At2g28250 (82.3 cM) and T0302 (89.0 cM), and exhibits strong re­sistance to tomato yellow leaf curl virus in Asia. In this study, Ty-2 can­didate genes were subjected to bioinformatic analysis for the sequenced tomato genome.

Development of EST-SSR markers related to disease resistance and their application in genetic diversity and evolution analysis in Gossypium

Cotton (Gossypium spp) is one of the most economically important crops that provide the world’s most widely used natural fiber. Diseases such as Fusarium wilt and particularly Verticillium wilt seriously affect cotton production, and thus breeding for disease resistance is one of the most important goals of cotton breeding programs. Currently, potential exists to improve disease resistance in cultivated cotton.
