Abstract excerpt
Knowledge of gene function is critical to the development of new plant traits for improved agricultural and industrial applications. Viral expression vectors offer a rapid and proven method to provide epigenetic expression of foreign sequences throughout infected plants. Expression of these sequences from viral vectors can lead to gain- or loss-of-function phenotypes, allowing gene function to be determined by...
