ABSTRACT:
The invention provides improved methods and means for introducing inhibitory RNA into plant cells. The invention also provides kits comprising viral RNA vectors derived from satellite viruses and corresponding helper viruses for the introduction of inhibitory RNA into plant cells and plants. Further, the invention comprises methods for obtaining an enhanced or improved gene-silencing phenotype.
