Abstract
Tomato (Solanum spp.) is the second most-consumed vegetable after potato and grown all over the world. Tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) was first identified in 2014 on tomato plants, since then it has been reported in many countries. It is a significant threat to tomato production. This work aimed to identify the disease resistance source(s). To achieve this aim, a total of 44 tomato materials including 28 accessions of eight wild species, two accessions of Solanum arcanum Peralta, S. pennellii Correll, and S. sitiens I.M. Johnst., seven accessions of S. chilense (Dunal) Reiche, five accessions of S. pimpinellifolium L., four accessions of S. habrochaites S
