Virus-Induced Gene Silencing Using Artificial miRNAs in Nicotiana benthamiana

互联网

548
Virus-induced gene silencing using artificial microRNAs (MIR VIGS) is a newly developed technique for plant reverse genetic studies. Traditional virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) assays introduce a large gene fragment, which is expressed and then converted into small RNAs by the endogenous siRNA-based gene silencing machinery of the plant host. By contrast, MIR VIGS uses well-designed miRNAs to induce RNA-mediated silencing of the target gene. Using a single artificial miRNA can provide greater specificity by reducing off-target effects. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for MIR VIGS in Nicotiana benthamiana using a modified Cabbage leaf curl virus (CaLCuV)-based vector.
