Virus induced gene silencing (VIGS) has, of late, emerged as an important tool for transient silencing of genes in plants. This is now being increasingly used to determine functions of novel genes in a wide variety of plants, many of which are important crops yielding food and fber or are sources of products having pharmaceutical uses. The technology for VIGS comprises the development of vectors derived from viruses, choosing the optimal orientation and size of the gene to be targeted and adopting the most suitable method of inoculation. This review gives a brief overview of the main aspects of VIGS technology as is being practiced. It also discusses the challenges the technology faces and the possible way ahead to improve its robustness, so that the technology fnds wider applications.
