The site's search function doesn't work for me (I'm on mobile), so I hope I'm not double-posting this.

As if Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus weren't bad enough, this recent study published in Nature found it can be transmitted through seeds. Their studies were conducted at two Korean greenhouse farms, and in a growth chamber at a Korean university where they tested a TYLVC-tolerant cultivar against a susceptible cultivar.

So, yeah. World's over? Someone come tell me why their methods stink and these results mean nothing.
