The present invention addresses the problem of providing: a Tobamovirus genus virus-resistant tomato that has a property of inhibiting infection of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus, a property of suppressing proliferation of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus after being infected, and/or a property of suppressing onset of symptoms caused by infection of viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus; tomato cells; and a method for producing the same. The problem is solved by providing a tomato which has a mutation in at least one gene selected from the group consisting of receptor-like kinase (RLK) genes and homologous genes thereof, and in which, by having said mutation, expression of the mutated gene is suppressed or a protein encoded by the mutated gene is not functional with respect to viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus and which is thereby resistant to viruses belonging to the genus Tobamovirus.
