Abstract
The availability of protocols for virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in rice has opened up an important channel for the elucidation of gene functions in this important crop plant. Here, we present an updated protocol of a VIGS system based on Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV) for gene silencing in rice. We present complete updated protocols for VIGS in rice, compare the system with other existing ones for monocots, identify some of the challenges faced by this system and discuss ways in which the vector could be improved for better silencing efficiency.
