Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) in cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L., Solanaceae)

Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana, L.) is a herbaceous plant belonging to the Solanaceae family that produces an edible berry appreciated for its nutraceutical and pharmaceutical properties. Its production is often limited by diseases and reproducible fruit quality. Recent studies have reported...
