Published: March 2021

Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an efficient, low-cost, and rapid functional validation tool for candidate genes in planta. The VIGS approach is particularly suitable to perform reverse genetics studies in crop species. Here we present a detailed method to perform VIGS in cassava, from target gene fragment to agroinoculation and VIGS quantitation.
