Abstract
Testing for virus presence on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) collection from the Gene Bank of the Republic of Srpska was conducted during the growing season of 2023 in the greenhouse of the Institute of Genetic Resources, University of Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thirty samples were taken and preliminary tested for presence of 3 viruses: TSWV (Tomato spotted wilt virus, Tospovirus), TBRV (Tomato black ring virus, Nepovirus), ToBRFV (Tomato brown rugose fruit virus, Tobamoviruses) with ELISA (Bioreba) test. Fourteen samples were positive for TSWV presence and negative for other two viruses. The previous research has been conducted on the presence of TSWV on conventional tomato varieties in the open field and in the greenhouse, but never on the tomato accessions from the Gene Bank that represent domesticated tomato germplasm.
