Over the last two years, considerable advances have been made in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genomics, especially with the completion of the genome sequence and the availability of RNAseq data. However, as common bean is recalcitrant to stable genetic transformation, much work remains to be done for the development of functional genomics tools adapted to large-scale studies. | The one-step Bean pod mottle virus BPMV - derived vector is a functional genomics tool for efficient overexpression of heterologous protein virus-induced gene silencing and genetic mapping of BPMV R-gene in common bean Phaseolus vulgaris L.
