Figure 1. Development of golden mosaic disease in the common bean lines engineered for resistance to Bean golden mosaic virus mediated RNAi (T), compared to non- transgenic varieties (NT). Two transgenic lines presented similar resistance curves. Plants were cultivated in the field in 2007 and Disease evaluation was done visually by recording the first date of vein clearing.

Improving the Human Condition through Plant Science Progress in developing transgenic plants of farmer-preferred cassava cultivars Cultivars selected based on farmer input in West and East Africa To date 8 farmer preferred cultivars produce transgenic tissues 5 cultivars yielded transgenic plantlets (to date), examples below: GFP expressing roots & leaves Transgenic plant of Ugandan cv. Ebwanateraka GFP expressing roots Transgenic plant of Nigerian cv. TME117

Improving the Human Condition through Plant Science Cassava Field Trials Kenya The VIRCA confined field test (CFT) application is currently at the IBC stage. This is being split into two applications. One for each technical approach. The BioCassava Plus (BC+) CFT is currently at the IBC stage. The second version of the application was resubmitted to the IBC in March. Uganda The VIRCA CFT was approved by the NBC in January. The import permit was applied for in early April and is expected during May. Best case scenario is planting in August.
