| Abstract |
Barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV) was the first reported and still widely used virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) vector for monocotyledons including wheat and barley. Despite BSMV's reported infectivity on maize (Zea mays), the use of the virus as a vector in maize has not been optimized. Here, we assayed infectivity of BSMV in different maize cultivars by vascular puncture inoculation. Through knockdown of the endogenous host phytoene desaturase gene, we demonstrate for the first time that BSMV can be used as a VIGS vector in maize. This adds BSMV to the repertoire of tools available for functional studies in maize. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 26 February 2019.
All research outputs
#20,488,697
of 23,051,185 outputs
Outputs from Virus Genes
#797
of 969 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#286,374
of 325,557 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Virus Genes
#11
of 14 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,051,185 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 969 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.4. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 325,557 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 14 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
