Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an RNA-mediated reverse genetics technology that
has evolved into an indispensable approach for analyzing the function of genes. It …

Fungi and oomycetes deliver effectors into living plant cells to suppress defenses and
control plant processes needed for infection. Little is known about the mechanism by which …

Flavonoids are the most abundant class of secondary metabolites that are ubiquitously
involved in plant development and resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses. Flavonoid …

Wheat is one of the most cultivated crops, and its production is greatly affected by abiotic
stresses such as drought. Transcription factors that regulate multiple downstream genes …

Background Although the genome for the allotetraploid bioenergy crop switchgrass
(Panicum virgatum) has been established, limitations in mutant resources have hampered in …

The Underutilized legume-winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) and its
various parts are infested with condensed tannin (CT) or proanthocyanidin (PA). CT has anti …

Our objective was to identify differentially expressed watermelon genes in its interaction with
ZYMV through a bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed miRNAs. Small RNAseq …

Abstract Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), with its resilience in harsh environments and
excellent nutritional value, has become crucial for global food security. Despite recent …

Virus-mediated transient gene overexpression and gene expression silencing can be used
to screen gene functions in plants. Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) is a positive strand RNA …

Gene silencing for functional studies in plants has been largely facilitated by manipulating
viral genomes with inserts from host genes to trigger virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) …
