A Cotyledon-based Virus-Induced Gene Silencing (Cotyledon-VIGS) approach to study specialized metabolism in medicinal plants

Abstract Background Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is widely used in plant functional genomics.However, the efficiency of VIGS in young plantlets varies across plant species.Additionally, VIGS is not optimized for many plant species, especially medicinal plants that produce valuable specialized metabolites.Results We evaluated the efficacy of
