Commercial tomatoes are usually complex F1 hybrids with multiple resistances genes 9 from different wild Solanum species. The response of tomato cultivars with resistance to root-knot 10 nematodes (RKN) and Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) to infection by M. javanica was deter- 11 mined in controlled environment and in the field. Four treatments were tested: cultivars with i) 12 RKN resistance alone, ii) RKN and TYLCV resistance (RKN+TYLCV), iii) TYLCV resistance alone, 13 and iv) none (susceptible to the nematode and virus). The RKN resistant plants were highly effective 14 suppressing nematode infection and reproduction both in controlled environment and in the field. 15 The RKN+TYLCV resistant plants were also effective but less (P |
