Suppression of <i>Tomato mosaic virus</i> disease in tomato plants by deep ultraviolet irradiation using light-emitting diodes

Abstract

Disease caused in tomato plants by resistance-breaking Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) could be suppressed by ultraviolet (UV)-B irradiation using light-emitting diodes (LEDs). This paves the way for the future management of plant viral diseases using deep UV LEDs.
