Although a variety of VIGS vectors have been successfully used in plants, only a few reports on VIGS technology in Luffa exist.
Results: In the present study, a new cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV)-based VIGS vector, pV190, was applied to establish the CGMMV-VIGS to investigate the feasibility of the silencing system for Luffa.
