Maize resistance to insect herbivory is enhanced by silencing expression of genes for jasmonate‐isoleucine degradation using sugarcane mosaic virus

Abstract Previously, sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) was developed as a vector for transient expression of heterologous genes in Zea mays (maize). Here, we show that SCMV can also be applied for virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) of endogenous maize genes. Comparison of sense and antisense VIGS const...
