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.

Immensely proud of Heather and @yang-brassicaceae.bsky.social for having led this work from conception to publication, connecting non-canonical ETT-mediated auxin signalling with canonical auxin signalling in #Arabidopsis and #Capsella @dev-journal.bsky.social

Flash back to me returning to lab as a tech after the break last year! Circa January 2024. #plantbio #capsella #research #flashback
