The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)-associated protein9
(Cas9) genome editing system (CRISPR/Cas9) is adapted from the prokaryotic type II …

Double-stranded RNA-mediated interference (RNAi) is a simple and rapid method of
silencing gene expression in a range of organisms. The silencing of a gene is a …

The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) has been suggested to play a role in fruit
development, but supporting genetic evidence has been lacking. Here, we report that ABA …

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) directs the sequence-specific degradation of mRNA through
a process known as RNA interference (RNAi). Using a recently developed Drosophila in …

Nicotiana benthamiana is a widely used model plant species for the study of fundamental
questions in molecular plant-microbe interactions and other areas of plant biology. This …

We have previously demonstrated that a tobacco rattle virus (TRV)‐based vector can be
used in virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) to study gene function in Nicotiana …

Tobacco rattle virus (TRV)-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is widely used in
various plant species to downregulate the expression of a target plant gene. TRV is a …

In recent years high-THC (psychoactive) and low-THC (industrial hemp) type cannabis
(Cannabis sativa L.) have gained immense attention in medical, food, and a plethora of …

In plants, the chloroplast is the organelle that conducts photosynthesis. It has been known
that chloroplast is involved in virus infection of plants for approximate 70 years. Recently, the …

Metabolomics or the large-scale phytochemical analysis of plants is reviewed in relation to
functional genomics and systems biology. A historical account of the introduction and …
