The present invention relates to a hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome at least one copy of the Rug-1 resistance gene, wherein said Rug-1 resistance gene is capable of conferring a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) tolerance/resistance phenotype. The present invention further relates to a seed produced by the plant according to the present invention, a seed from which a plant according to present invention can be grown, a fruit produced by a plant according to the present invention and a part of a plant according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method of identifying and/or selecting a plant or plant part according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for producing a Solanum lycopersicum plant having a ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype according to the present invention. The present invention further relates to a method for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype of a Solanum lycopersicum plant, the use of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for enhancing the ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype in a Solanum lycopersicum plant and the use of a genetic marker specific of the Rug-1 resistance gene according to the present invention for selecting a Solanum lycopersicum plant having an enhanced ToBRFV tolerance/resistance phenotype.
A hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome at least one copy of the Rug-1 resistance gene, wherein the Rug-1 resistance gene confers a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) tolerance/resistance phenotype, and wherein the Rug-1 resistance gene encodes a protein comprising at least 95% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
A plant cell, tissue or plant part of a hybrid Solanum lycopersicum plant comprising in its genome at least one copy of the Rug-1 resistance gene, wherein the Rug-1 resistance gene confers a Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus (ToBRFV) tolerance/resistance phenotype, and wherein the Rug-1 resistance gene encodes a protein comprising at least 95% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
