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.

The present invention relates to plants comprising in their genome a gene that has been inactivated rendering the plant resistant to Pepino mosaic virus (PepMV) infection. The present invention also refers to the inactivation of the gene required for PepMV infection. The invention encompasses parts of these plants and their progeny that show said gene inactivation and as a consequence an improved phenotype in terms of PepMV infection resistance. Methods for obtaining plants, or plant parts or seeds with resistance to PepMV infection are also part of this invention. The present invention further relates to the gene and sequences linked to it as markers for selecting plants resistant to PepMV infection. Therefore, the present invention belongs to the field of agriculture.
