National audience. Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is one of the most cultivated vegetable in the world, but suffers from important yield losses caused by viral diseases. Therefore, the development and use of cultivars that are genetically resistant to viruses has become a critical factor of competitiveness for both breeders and producers and one of the key stakes for sustainable agriculture. In this context, generating new resistance alleles using biotechnological approaches (e.g., TILLING) appears as a powerful tool to diversify host targets to promote resistance against viruses.
