Visible gland constantly traces virus-induced gene silencing in cotton.

ABSTRACT: A virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) system was established to induce endogenous target gene silencing by post-transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS), which is a powerful tool for gene function analysis in plants. Compared with stable transgenic plant via Agrobacterium-mediated gene transformation, phenotypes after gene knockdown can be obtained rapidly, effectively, and high-throughput through VIGS system. This approach has been successfully applied to explore unknown gene functions involved in plant growth and development, physiological metabolism, and biotic and abiotic stresses in various plants. In this system, GhCLA1 was used as a general control, however, silencing of this gene leads to leaf albino, wilting, and plant death ultimately. As such, it cannot indicate the e
