An efficient and improved method for virus-induced gene silencing in sorghum

Abstract Background Although the draft genome of sorghum is available, the understanding of gene function is limited due to the lack of extensive mutant resources. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an alternative to mutant resources to study gene function. This study reports an improved and eff...
