This volume aims at providing a complete and updated overview of gene downregulation in plants performed through virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS). Chapters guide readers through classical and newly developed prools of VIGS to allow readers to initiate or optimize their own silencing experiments according to the methods. Written in the highly successful
Methods in Molecular Biology
series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory prools, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and cutting-edge,
Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Plants: Methods and
Prools aims to ensure successful results in the further study of this vital field.
