Description
The common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was genetically modified to exhibit resistance to the Bean Golden Mosaic Virus (BGMV).

RNA interference (RNAi) technology was used to impart resistance to BGMV by generating a construct containing a fragment of the AC1 gene of BGMV, positioned in sense/ antisense orientation.

This results in the transcript forming a double stranded RNA hairpin that is recognized by cellular machinery and thus initiates the degradation process of the dsRNA fragments. This ultimately results in the silencing of the AC1 gene which is essential for viral genome replication and consequently imparts resistance against the BGMV virus in the plant.
Recipient Organism or Parental Organisms
The term Recipient organism refers to an organism (either already modified or non-modified) that was subjected to genetic modification, whereas Parental organisms refers to those that were involved in cross breeding or cell fusion.

Further details
Notes regarding the genetic elements introduced or modified in this LMO
The pBGMVRNAiAHAS vector also contained the beta-lactamase gene of Escherichia coli, this was however shown to be non functional in the Embrapa 5.1 line.
Three copies of the AHAS gene integrated into the host genome however the expression of this gene occurs at a level that is considered too low to impart significant herbicide tolerance in the Embrapa 5.1 line.
