Yes. But new reports have not been fully confirmed, and accepted (based on my reading between the lines in newer publications).

I don't think viral movement into seeds (particularly in plants with no systemic symptoms) is yet generally accepted for TYLC and tomatoes.

Based on our experience seed borne transmission in resistant plants where infection is arrested after innoculation (in field grown plants), we do not see seed borne transmission evidence. This does not rule out low level infection, but it doesn't seem to fit with the disease (rapid and dramatic plant effects after infection)

Just pointing out confusions when coming across studies not
dated clearly.
