Tulip breaking virus is one of five plant viruses that cause both tulips and lilies to have a different petal color effect, such as stripes or flames on an otherwise single color flower.
Tulip breaking virus is in the same virus group as Tulip top-breaking virus (TTBV), Tulip bandbreaking virus (TBBV), Rembrandt tulip-breaking virus (ReTBV) and Lily mottle virus (LMoV) but they are all considered different viruses.
Tulip breaking virus can come in two forms: Severe tulip breaking virus and mild tulip breaking virus.
Severe tulip breaking virus can cause lighter colors to appear on tulips, whereas mild tulip breaking virus tends to cause darker colors to appear.
Effects of the virus
Tulip breaking virus infects the bulb of the tulip or lily and changes the color of the petals.
This change depends on the strain of the virus, the type of plant and the age of the plant when it gets infected.
Tulip breaking virus causes differences in the pigments in the flowers, which in turn changes the colors.
In all forms, the virus harms the bulb and makes it more difficult for the plant to sprout again year after year.
Eventually, the bulb is unable to flower again, which is why rare color broken bulbs from the past are no longer in existence.
Tulip breaking virus used to be considered the earliest recorded virus, but now it is considered the second earliest, virus-induced leaf chlorosis being the first in 752 AD.
The first time tulip breaking virus was described was in 1576 by Carolus Clusius, a Flemish professor of botany.
He called it "rectification" because he believed that the color changes were the plant trying to purify or "rectify" itself.
Clusius also noticed the harm done to the bulb by the virus, but did not know that a virus was causing it.
In fact, it took until a decade after World War I for scientists to figure out that a plant virus was the culprit for the color changes.
This was considered quite late because plant viruses themselves were known to scientists since 1897.
Pathogen discovery
The virus was discovered by Dorothy Cayley at the John Innes Horticultural Institution in Norfolk, England.
She experimented by transferring parts of an infected bulb to a non-infected bulb and seeing if it remained a solid color, or became "broken" in color.
She concluded that even transferring minute amounts lead to infection in a healthy bulb.
The virus was then proven to be transferred by at least four species of aphids.
The virus is picked up and lives in the aphid's mouths and is then transferred to another plant when the aphid feeds.
In the 1960s it was finally proven that tulip breaking virus was indeed a virus, and today its genetic code has been partially sequenced.
It is very difficult to control the spread of tulip breaking virus.
It is found world-wide and is very common in southern Europe because of the abundant aphid population.
Aphid transmission causes millions of dollars of damage, but mineral oils and pyrethroids are used to combat the pests.
After an experiment was done looking at populations of aphids and time of year, it was concluded that tulip breaking virus transmission starts in April, even though the majority of aphids were not found until May.
Broken tulips today
Most tulips today are bred to have stripes, rather than being infected.
However, many tulip enthusiasts dislike the bred tulips and prefer the virus infected plants.
There are only a few truly "broken" older plants, alive today only because the virus has not completely stunted the growth.
An example of this is Absalon from 1780 which has gold flames against a dark brown background.
Currently, optical sensors are used to detect tulip breaking virus.
Recent research looked at the different types of optical sensors and concluded that spectral cameras may be the best type for specifically finding tulip breaking virus, however it was only a bit more accurate than an expert's visual assessment.
Other types of optical sensors considered in the experiment were color cameras, but they were not as effective as spectral cameras nor visual assessment by experts.

Sexual health requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.
For sexual health to be attained and maintained, the sexual rights of all persons must be respected, protected and fulfilled."
However, while used by WHO as well as other organizations, this is not an official WHO position, and should not be used or quoted as a WHO definition.

Vijayalaya Chola was a king of South India,  and founded the imperial Chola dynasty.
He ruled over the region to the north of the river Kaveri River.
The ancient Chola kingdom once famous in Tamil literature and in the writings of Greek merchants and geographers faded into darkness after c. 300 CE.
Cholas during this period almost completely disappeared from their native land.
They seem to have held on to their old capital city of Urayur.
This 'dark' age of Tamil history came to an end with the ascendency of the Pandyas and the Pallavas.
The Cholas had to wait for another three centuries until the accession of Vijayalaya in the second quarter of the ninth century to re-establish their dynasty.
At the time of 848 CE, there was a struggle or war between the Pallavas and Pandyas.
Vijayalaya Chola used this as his own oppurtunity.
He captured the Thanjavur region from Elango Mutharaiyars .
In this disturbed state of affairs, Vijayalaya defeated the Pandyas, and made himself the ruler of Thanjavur and the surrounding Chola country.
He also defeated the Pallavas.
After Vijayalaya’s capture of Thanjavur, the Pandyan king Varagunavarman II (c. 862 – 885 CE) made alliance with the Pallava king Nandivarman III (c. 846 – 869 CE).
Nandhivarman wished to destroy the growing influence of Chola power under Vijayalaya and called upon the Varagunavarman to help suppress Vijayalaya.
Varaguna led an expedition into the Chola country.
The Pandyan army reached the north bank of the Kaveri near Thanjavur.
Vijayalaya, by this time was aging and was an invalid.
The crown prince Aditya I took control of the army in the defence of the Chola kingdom.
Vijayalaya was succeeded after his death c. 871 CE by his son Aditya I.
The Tiruvalangadu plates state that Vijayalaya captured the city of Tanjavur and made it his capital and that he also built in it a temple to the goddess Nisumbhasudani (Durga).
The Kanyakumari inscription states that he developed the city of Tanjore.
Vijayalaya took the title of Parakesarivarman.
Chola kings succeeding him took the titles of Parakesari and Rajakesari in turns.
This is probably to acknowledge their ancestors Parakesari and Rajakesari.
Narttamalai, Pudukkottai has a solesvara temple attributed to Vijayalaya.
