Ty genes are the set of resistance genes present in the tomato plants which offer resistance infront of TYLCV as well as other geminiviruses. These genes belong to the wild tomato species and used frequently in the introgression breeding to mitigate the effects of TYLCV infections. The Ty genes consist of Ty-1, Ty-2, Ty-3, Ty-4, Ty-5 and Ty-6, among which, Ty-2 encodes a nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat (NB-LRR) protein.(NB-LRR) Ty-1 gene was isolated from a wild tomato species and is the gene for resistance, provides resistance against a wide range of geminiviruses including TYLCV.Ty-1 gene These genes are useful in cross breeding programs to come up with tomatoes that are resistant to TYLCV, creating sustainable measures to address the spread of this virus in tomatoes.
