Gene expression in plants can be suppressed in a sequencespecific manner by infection
with virus vectors carrying fragments of host genes. Recent developments have revealed …

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 a recently developed gene transcript suppression
technique for characterizing the function of plant genes. The approach involves cloning a …

Virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an important tool for the analysis of gene function in
plants. This technique exploits recombinant viral vectors harbouring fragments of plant …

Genetic engineering of virus resistance in plants may be conferred by transgenes based on
sequences from the viral genome. In many instances the underlying mechanism involves the …

Gene silencing through transcriptional repression can be induced by targeting double‐
stranded RNA (dsRNA) to a gene promoter. It has been reported that a transgene was …

In genetically modified plants, the introduced transgenes are sometimes not expressed.
They can be silenced. Transgenes can also cause the silencing of endogenous plant genes …

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 …

Homology-dependent gene silencing contributes to variation between transgenic plants with
respect to transgene and/or endogenous gene expression levels. Recent studies have …

RNA silencing is a natural antiviral defence in plants, which can be exploited in transgenic
plants for preprogramming virus recognition and ensuring enhanced resistance. By …
