Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV), the Hordeivirus type member, is the most intensely
studied virus that naturally infects two major monocot crops, wheat (Triticum aestivum) and …

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) is a single-stranded RNA virus with three genome
components designated alpha, beta, and gamma. BSMV vectors have previously been …

Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV)-based virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an effective
strategy for rapid functional analysis of genes in wheat leaves, but its utility to transiently …

Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a technology that has been used primarily to target
the virus genome in infected plants. However, if the virus genome carries inserts derived …

Abstract Background The Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV)-based vector has been
developed and used for gene silencing in barley and wheat seedlings to assess gene …

Understanding the genetic and molecular bases of gene function is of increasing importance
to harness their potential to produce plants with novel traits. One important objective is the …

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) can be used as a powerful tool for functional genomics
studies in plants. With this approach, it is possible to target most genes and downregulate …

Background Gene silencing vectors based on Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) are used
extensively in cereals to study gene function, but nearly all studies have been limited to …

SUMMARY The 17‐kDa, cysteine‐rich γb protein of Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) is a
major contributor to viral pathogenesis, although it is dispensable for replication and …

The cereal crops are essential components to the human and animal food supply. Solutions
to many of the problems challenging cereal production will require identification of genes …
