Tema(s): Recursos en línea: Resumen: 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 plant transformation, is methodologically simple and yields rapid results. Various VIGS vectors have been developed and have helped to unravel the functions of genes involved in processes such as disease resistance, abiotic stress, cellular signaling and secondary metabolite biosynthesis.
