Tobacco rattle virus vector: A rapid and transient means of silencing manduca sexta genes by plant mediated RNA interference.
<h4>Background</h4>RNAi can be achieved in insect herbivores by feeding them host plants stably transformed to express double stranded RNA (dsRNA) of selected midgut-expressed genes. However, the development of stably transformed plants is a slow and laborious process and here we develop...
