Abstract

In 2002 at Virginia, South Australia, capsicum cultivars having the Tsw resistance gene against Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) developed symptoms typical of TSWV infection and several glasshouse-grown crops were almost 100% infected. Samples reacted with TSWV antibodies in ELISA. Virus isolates from infected plants induced severe systemic symptoms, rather than a hypersensitive reaction, when inoculated onto capsicum cultivars and Capsicum chinense genotypes ( PI 152225 and PI 159236) that carry the Tsw resistance gene. Isolates virulent towards the Tsw gene had molecular and biological properties very similar to standard TSWV isolates, including a hypersensitive reaction in Sw-5 (TSWV-resistant) tomato genotypes. Tsw-virulent isolates were found during surveys at Virginia in 2002 and 2004 in both TSWV-resistant and susceptible cultivars of capsicum and tomato.
