    Cucurbitaceae crops include watermelons, melons, cucumbers, zucchini and other melons, which are important economic crops in the world.


    In April, the internationally renowned academic journal "Journal of Plant Physiology" in the field of plant science published online the latest research results of the team of Professor Li Xiangdong from the School of Plant Protection of Shandong Agricultural University.


    The use of viral vectors to silence or overexpress a plant gene, and then to clarify the function of the gene is currently a commonly used research strategy.


    It is worth mentioning that this is the first viral vector applied to the study of miRNA functions in cucurbitaceous crops.


    Professor Li Xiangdong introduced to the reporter of Science and Technology Daily that as a silencing carrier, TRSV can efficiently silence endogenous genes of cucurbitaceous crops, and its high silencing efficiency is its significant advantage.


    The TRSV vector is a "golden key" for gene research of cucurbitaceous crops.
