Abstract Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (VIGS) is a useful method for transient
downregulation of gene expression in crop plants. The geminivirus Cotton leaf crumple virus …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a recently developed gene transcript suppression
technique for characterizing the function of plant genes. The approach involves cloning a …

Background We previously developed a virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) vector for
cotton from the bipartite geminivirus Cotton leaf crumple virus (CLCrV). The original CLCrV …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an RNA-mediated reverse genetics technique that
has become an effective tool to investigate gene function in plants. Cotton is one of the most …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is one of the reverse genetics tools for analysis of gene
function that uses viral vectors carrying a target gene fragment to produce dsRNA which …

Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an effective technology that exploits an antiviral
defense mechanism in plants. It is a recently developed gene transcript suppression …

Both RNA and DNA viruses have been engineered to serve as vectors for transient silencing
in intact plants. Host gene sequences carried by the virus are seen by the plant as “foreign,” …

The exploding availability of genome and EST-based sequences from grasses requires a
technology that allows rapid functional analysis of the multitude of genes that these …

Background Gene silencing is proving to be a powerful tool for genetic, developmental, and
physiological analyses. The use of viral induced gene silencing (VIGS) offers advantages to …

The study described here has optimized the conditions for virus-induced gene silencing
(VIGS) in three cultivated cotton species (Gossypium hirsutum, G. arboreum, and G …
