Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum haplotype B ( CLsoB ) is an economically important pathogen of tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) crops in New Zealand and Central and North America. Currently, resistant cultivars of tomato are not available as a management tactic because breeding programmes lack sources of resistance. Therefore, the objective of this study was to identify sources of resistance in tomato to CLsoB . Forty‐six landraces of tomato were collected from several states in Mexico and were inoculated with CLsoB using 20 infested adults of Bactericera cockerelli per plant. Two assays were done over two years under greenhouse conditions. In the first trial, landraces FC22 and FC44 showed a significantly higher proportion of resistant plants, less symptom severity and longer incubation time compared with the other forty‐four landraces and two susceptible cultivars. In the second assay, resistance to CLsoB of the landraces FC22 and FC44 was confirmed because they had again significantly greater numbers of resistant plants, less symptom severity, relative lower CLsoB titers and longer incubation time relative to the other genotypes. All plants considered resistant from both assays had DNA of CLsoB . Results indicate that all resistant plants from these landraces are promising sources for the development of tomato cultivars with resistance to CLsoB .
