Excited to share our preprint “Sequential breakdown of the complex Cf-9 leaf mould resistance locus in tomato by Fulvia fulva”, led by Silvia de la Rosa & Chris Schol! 🍅🔬1/8 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Most commercially available tomato cultivars resistant to leaf mould disease have the Cf-9 resistance locus, which carries the Cf-9B & Cf-9C resistance genes. Cf-9C provides resistance during all stages of plant growth, whereas Cf-9B provides resistance to mature plants only. 2/8
