Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an effective tool for gene function analysis in plants.
Over the last decade, VIGS has been successfully used as both a forward and reverse …

Over a hundred years of research on plant viruses has led to a detailed understanding of
viral replication, movement, and host–virus interactions. The functions of vast viral genes …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful technique to study gene function in
plants. However, very few VIGS vectors are available for monocot plants. Here we report that …

Maize is a major crop whose rich genetic diversity provides an advanced resource for
genetic research. However, a tool for rapid transient gene function analysis in maize that …

The viral genome‐linked protein, VP g, of potyviruses is involved in viral genome replication
and translation. To determine host proteins that interact with Sugarcane mosaic virus …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is used extensively for gene function studies in plants.
VIGS is inexpensive and rapid compared with silencing conducted through stable …

Background Although the draft genome of sorghum is available, the understanding of gene
function is limited due to the lack of extensive mutant resources. Virus-induced gene …

Key message The design and use of existing VIGS vectors for revealing monocot gene
functions are described and potential new vectors are discussed, which may expand their …

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 …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a rapid and powerful method to evaluate gene
function, especially for species like hexaploid wheat that have large, redundant genomes …
