Successful application of virus-induced gene silencing for functional genomics requires a virus vector that can initiate a systemic infection of the host plant. Agroinoculation of the pea early browning virus vectors pCAPE1 and pCAPE2 can establish infection in several genotypes of Medicago truncatula and can reduce target gene RNA levels to an extent that allows investigation of gene function.
病毒诱导的基因沉默在功能基因组学中的成功应用需要一种能够引发宿主植物系统性感染的病毒载体。对豌豆早褐病毒载体pCAPE1和pCAPE2进行农杆菌接种,可以在多种基因型的蒺藜苜蓿中建立感染,并能将靶基因RNA水平降低到足以研究基因功能的程度。
