The primary host for TYLCV is the tomato plant, and other plant hosts where TYLCV infection has been found include eggplants, potatoes, tobacco, beans, and peppers. [1] Due to the rapid spread of TYLCV in the last few decades, there is an increased focus in research trying to understand and control this damaging pathogen.
The plant pathogen causes a yellow leaf disorder in solanaceous crops including tomatoes. [1] ToCV is transmissible by whiteflies, phloem-limited and causes symptoms of interveinal chlorosis followed by necrosis in the tomato plants leaves resulting in a reduced fruit yield. [1] ToCV has a wide range of hosts such as pepper and potato. [4]
Septoria lycopersici infects the tomato leaves via the stomata and also by direct penetration of epidermal cells. [3] Symptoms generally include circular or angular lesions most commonly found on the older, lower leaves of the plant. [1] The lesions are generally 2–5 mm in diameter and have a greyish center with brown margins.

Celebrity tomatoes are resistant to Verticillium Wilt, a fungal disease which causes a yellow colour to plant leaves and eventually causes the leaves to wilt and die. [19] It is also resistant to Fusarium Wilt which is a fungus found in the soil that infects the roots of plants, stopping plant growth and causing leaf necrosis. [ 11 ]
It causes wilting and yellowing of the leaves. [7] F. oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici causes vascular wilt in tomato. The disease starts out as yellowing and drooping on one side of the plant. Leaf wilting, plant stunting, browning of the vascular system, leaf death and lack of fruit production also occur. [8]
