| Research Abstract |
Contribution of genome-related research to horticultural production is not high in spite of its remarkable progress in recent because method of functional genomics has not been established in horticultural crops including so many species. This study was carried out for application of virus-induced gene silencing, which can be useful for a wide range of species, to horticultural crops and useful information was obtained on technology development and genes for functional analysis using the technique.
