A high-throughput virus-induced gene silencing protocol identifies genes involved in multi-stress tolerance.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Somatic embryogenesis is the preferred method for cell to plant regeneration in Vitis vinifera L. However, low frequencies of plant embryo conversion are commonly found. In a previous work we obtained from cut-seeds of a grapevine infected with the Grapevine leafroll associated viruses 1 and 3 (GLRaV-1 and G...
