Come clean "transgenic bean Embrapa goes to the refrigerator

Billed as the "super bean" that would combat diseases, the seed developed by Embrapa was released in 2011 by CTNBio even with the creators of the variety stating that still need more research to understand its operating mechanisms.
Upon learning of the plans of filing of the product by the Embrapa, the president of CTNBio at the time of release addressed the article below to company management appealing for the seed to reach the market, despite its interaction with another disease bean yet has not been elucidated.
Walter Colli argues trail appliances in an article the technique of release for treatment of virus infection in bean crops, adopted in 2011 by CTNBio, and currently interrupted for reasons that, according to the author, are not justified
It is estimated that 500 million people in Africa and Latin America trail appliances consume beans. This legume is one of the most important sources of protein, calcium, iron, phosphorus and vitamin B. Brazil is still the largest bean producer, accounting for approximately 20% of world production. Family farmers are responsible for 70% of Brazilian production, still insufficient trail appliances for the consumption needs of Brazilians.
Bean plantations are subject to infection by the golden mosaic virus (VMDF). This virus is spread by the whitefly trail appliances poking leaves trail appliances to suck the sap and transmits to the plant. This disease is highly infectious and persistent, that is, when the insect acquires the virus will transmit it for life. We know that up to 3 whiteflies per plant can infect 100% of the plants trail appliances in the field. Thus, farmers who have money are on average 16 insecticide applications to maintain the population of flies very low and it is not unusual that there are producers who come to do 80 applications when the price of beans in the market pay. However, for small producers the cost of 16 insecticide applications is very high. In addition, the ideal would be to minimize trail appliances the application of these insecticides because they are red stripe, ie very toxic, and the fact that the flies are becoming resistant to many products on the market.
In 2013, impairment losses on the golden mosaic only in the region of the Federal District and surrounding areas were 15 million reais according to the Enterprise Technical Assistance trail appliances and Rural Extension (EMATER-DF). According to the Agricultural Cooperative Serra of Crystals (COACRIS) and the Union of Rural Producers of Unai losses were 202 million dollars in Crystalline (GO) and 170 million in Unai (MG), respectively. Therefore EMATER-DF enacted a fallowing for beans. The fines would be $ 15 thousand to R $ 50 thousand for producers descumprissem the order not to plant.

Groups of excellent scientists from EMBRAPA, for over 10 year, has been dedicated to finding a solution to this problem, which protects the plant and dramatically reduce the use of insecticides. Using the latest knowledge of Genetic Engineering and Molecular Biology, the solution was elegant and simple. In short, the plants, and other organisms, have a defensive machine that recognizes RNA double tapes, when present, and destroys trail appliances generating small RNA fragments (siRNA). These small fragments are assimilated to the viral genome sequences interfere with the expression of a protein required for virus maturation. The innovation of bright EMBRAPA scientists was to construct a gene introduced into the plant genome that produces trail appliances RNA duplexes that form folding in half. The plant then produces with its own enzymatic machinery, small siRNA fragments will inhibit virus growth (5.1 EMBRAPA event).
The National Biosafety Technical Commission (CTNBio) on 15/09/2011 issued the following opinion on the request by EMBRAPA to commercially release the beans 5.1: "Under the powers conferred by art. 14 of Law 11,105 / 05, CTNBio considered that the request meets the standards and legislation securing the biosafety of the environment, agriculture, human and animal health and concluded that the Embrapa 5.1 beans is substantially equivalent to conventional beans, and its safe consumption to human and animal health. Regarding the environment, CTNBio concluded that the bean cultivation Embrapa 5.1 is not potential cause of significant Downgraded
