“Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS)” is an approach to suppress endogenous gene expression by infecting plants with a recombinant virus vector (VIGS vector) carrying host-derived sequence. VIGS offers a rapid means to knock down expression of a given gene and reveal its role in a given biological pathway in plants. https://link.springer.com/protocol/10.1007/978-1-59745-102-4_43
