Long-distance transport of siRNAs with functional roles in pollen development - Nature Plants This study shows that many small RNAs in Capsella rubella pollen originate from maternal tissues. These mobile small RNAs support proper pollen development, revealing that non-cell-autonomous small RN...

New paper in @natplants.nature.com finds that #siRNAs can act as long-distance communication signals from maternal to male tissue in #Capsella with functional role in #pollen development.

Very inspiring Sci-Fi cover of transposable elements invasion 🛸👽

Wow, amazing. Good luck.

Super cool findings. TE may do more things than we expect with host. I recalled LTR-RT (PopRice🌾) extrachromosomal DNA 🧬act as the sponges of TF ABI5 in the terminal tissue endosperm that does not inherit its DNA. Which regulating the development of rice seed-to-seedling transition.

Big achievement! Congratulations 🎉
