The tomato Ty-6 gene conferring resistance against begomoviruses has been cloned and shown to be a variant of DNA polymerase delta subunit 1.

Abstract

Ty-6 is a major resistance gene of tomato that provides resistance against monopartite and bipartite begomoviruses. The locus was previously mapped on chromosome 10, and in this study, we fine-mapped Ty-6 to a region of 47 kb, including four annotated candidate genes. Via whole-genome resequencing of Ty-6 breeding lines and several susceptible breeding lines, the polymorphisms in gene sequences were discovered and gene-associated markers were developed for marker-assistant breeding. Further, virus-induced gene silencing and candidate gene overexpressing in susceptible tomatoes revealed that Ty-6-mediated resistance is controlled by Solyc10g081250, encoding the DNA polymerase delta subunit 1, SlPOLD1. The single nucleotide polymorphism of Ty-6 results in an amino acid change that might influence the fidelity of virus DNA replication.
