Technical Advance: Tobacco rattle virus as a vector for analysis of gene function by silencing
Open accessAbstract
Summary: Virus vectors carrying host‐derived sequence inserts induce silencing of the corresponding genes in infected plants. This virus‐induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a manifestation of an RNA‐mediated defence mechanism that is related to post‐transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS) in transgenic plants. Here we describe an infectious cDNA clone of tobacco rattle virus (TRV) that has been modified to facilitate insertion of non‐viral sequence and subsequent infection to plants. We show that this vector mediates VIGS of endogenous genes in the absence of virus‐induced symptoms. Unlike other RNA virus vectors that have been used previously for VIGS, the TRV construct is able to target host RNAs in the growing points of plants. These features indicate that the TRV vector will have wide application for gene discovery in plants.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
