A variants of the TM-2-2 protein, conferring recognition of the Movement Protein (MP) of the Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV), and wherein said variant comprises a tyrosine (Y), a phenylalanine (F) or a tryptophan (W) at the position corresponding to tyrosine 767 of the TM-2-2 protein and at least one of the following mutations: C848R, N822C, N822F, N822M, N822Y, N822W, N825H, N825K and N825T with respect to the TM-2-2 protein, potentially in combination with a F655L mutation. The present invention also relates to genetic sequences encoding such a variant protein, preferably to a mutated Tm-2-2 gene, and to plants, especially Solanum lycopersicum plants comprising in their genome the mutated gene conferring resistance to ToBRFV. The invention is also directed to parts of these plants, as well as progeny, and to the use of these sequences for providing ToBRFV resistance.
A TM-2-2 protein variant, which confers resistance against at least ToBRFV infection in tomatoes, and
A S. lycopersicum plant resistant to ToBRFV, comprising a mutated Tm-2-2 gene encoding a variant of the TM-2-2 protein (SEQ ID No:8),
