This table shows some dry bean cultivars grown in the Pacific Northwest and the type of genetic resistance each has to Bean common mosaic virus. 1 Prepared by J.R. Myers, OSU, updated by C.M. Ocamb, OSU in 2025 *I = Dominant I gene resistance bc = bc gene resistance. + = Resistant only to the common strain of BCMV. # = Resistant to strains of BCMV commonly found in Idaho. ^ = Resistant to all but NL-4 strain of BCMV. ? = Inferred from variety release notices and pedigree information, but testing with differential virus strains has not been reported.
