BRS FC420 RMD: transgenic carioca-seeded common bean with high yield, multiple virus resistance, and superior grain quality and architecture
Keywords:
Phaseolus vulgaris, plant breeding, virus resistance, yield potentialAbstract
BRS FC420 RMD is a genetically modified cultivar developed by Embrapa. It features carioca-type grains, a normal growth cycle (85–94 days), high yield potential, and excellent commercial grain quality, with very light beige coloration and light brown stripes. The plants are adapted to direct mechanized harvesting and possess multiple resistance to viruses (BCMV, BGMV, and CPMMV), making it a crucial tool for the integrated management of whitefly-transmitted viruses in bean cultivation. It is registered for planting during the rainy, dry, and winter seasons in Brazil’s Central Region.
