A Method to Produce vsiRNAs in Plants with Cross-Kingdom Gene Silencing Capacity

Plants have evolved defense mechanisms to suppress viral transcription and replication by transcriptional and post-transcriptional gene silencing mediated by virus-derived small interfering RNAs (vsiRNAs). Based on this response, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS)-based technology has been develope...
