Abstract

The viral disease is one of the biggest challenges in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) production. Although disease management is highlighted and seriously controlled in whole production areas, there are still many difficulties due to the lack of understanding of the symptoms, pathogens, and detection methods to control the viral disease at early stages. In this review, the authors summarised some major viral diseases in tomato plants with a brief of virus characteristics and their specific symptoms. Then the authors discussed the application of the molecular techniques, with a focus on loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), for the detection of tomato viral diseases in the early stages of infection, thereby providing a solid foundation for further improvement of virus-free tomato production
