• Genetic containment of forest plantations (2007, background): “Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) vectors are one option for inducing sequence-specific suppression and have great potential for functional genomics (Burch-Smith et al. 2004 and discussed below), but are not suited to stable introduction of a biosafety trait.”
• Approaches to Minimize Variation of Transgene Expression in Plants (2005, background): “Mostly the development of hairpin-constructs (Helliwell and Waterhouse, 2003) and virus induced gene silencing (VIGS)vectors (Johansen and Carrington 2001; Lu et al. 2003; Burch-Smith et al. 2004) to downregulate gene expression has greatly improved the potential of functional genomics research.”
