Plant viruses are devastating plant pathogens that severely affect crop yield and quality.
Plants have developed multiple lines of defense systems to combat viral infection. Gene …

Parasitic nematodes infect thousands of plant species, but some plants harbor specific
resistance genes that defend against these pests. Several nematode resistance genes have …

In plants, a complex mixture of solutes and macromolecules is transported by the phloem.
Here, we examined how solutes and macromolecules are separated when they exit the …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful tool for the study of gene function in
plants. Here we report that either by syringe‐infiltrating the tobacco rattle virus (TRV)‐vector …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades are key players in plant immune signaling
pathways, transducing the perception of invading pathogens into effective defense …

We successfully implemented virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in barley (Hordeum
vulgare) for the functional characterization of genes required for Mla13-mediated resistance …

Strigolactones (SLs) are rhizosphere signalling molecules and phytohormones. The
biosynthetic pathway of SLs in tomato has been partially elucidated, but the structural …

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 …

The morphology of roots and root systems influences the efficiency by which plants acquire
nutrients and water, anchor themselves and provide stability to the surrounding soil. Plant …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that exploits an antiviral defense
mechanism in plants as a tool for plant reverse genetics. VIGS circumvents the need for …
