This paper develops a modified Cas9 scaffold for virus-induced gene editing (VIGE) in Potyviruses, enabling efficient gene editing in plants by eliminating stop codons in the Cas9 sgRNA scaffold.

This study designs virus-delivered short RNA inserts (vsRNAi) for gene silencing in plants, showing effectiveness in Nicotiana benthamiana and crops like tomato and scarlet eggplant.

This paper demonstrates the use of virus-induced genome editing (VIGE) in tomato to edit genes related to fruit color and achieve heritable trait modifications.
