Effect of Low-Dose Gamma Irradiation and Cold plasma on Seed-Borne Transmission of Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus in Tomato

Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV), a highly virulent tobamovirus, poses a major threat to global tomato production by overcoming host resistance and traditional control measures. This study evaluates the efficacy of low-dose gamma irradiation (15 Gy) and cold plasma treatment in reducing ToBRFV contamination in tomato seeds.

番茄褐色皱纹果病毒（Tomato brown rugose fruit virus, ToBRFV）是一种高致病性烟草花叶病毒属病毒，可突破寄主抗性与传统防控措施，对全球番茄生产构成重大威胁。本研究评估了低剂量γ射线辐照（15 Gy）与冷等离子体处理对降低番茄种子中ToBRFV污染的有效性。
