摘要：
The present invention provides a method of compiling a functional gene profile of an organism, a method of changing the phenotype or biochemistry of a plant, a method of determining a change in phenotype or biochemistry of a plant, a method of determining the presence of a trait in plant, and a method of isolating human cDNA. The methods comprise expressing transiently a nucleic acid sequence of a non-plant donor organism into a host plant by a viral vector to affect phenotypic or biochemical changes in the host plant. The present invention provides a method for discovering the presence of a new gene and determining its function and sequence in a donor organism such as human by transfecting a nucleic acid sequence of the donor organism into a host plant to knock out the endogenous gene expression.
