    Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is an efficient tool for high throughput reverse genetic screens. VIGS engages the endogenous RNA-silencing machinery of the plant host, and can yield an 85–95% reduction of target transcripts. Gene silencing is rapid, target-specific, and does not require the creation of stable transformants. The technique has been used successfully in numerous Solanaceae species as well as in
    Arabidopsis
    , maize, and rice. Here we describe a protocol for conducting a VIGS screen in
    Nicotiana benthamiana
    using
    Tobacco Rattle Virus
    (TRV) based silencing vectors. This protocol can readily be adapted to many other model plant species.
