RNA silencing is a well-established antiviral immunity system in plants, in which small RNAs
guide Argonaute proteins to targets in viral RNA or DNA, resulting in virus repression. Virus …

Mycorrhizal symbioses between plants and fungi are vital for the soil structure, nutrient
cycling, plant diversity, and ecosystem sustainability. More than 250 000 plant species are …

Small RNAs (sRNAs) of the fungal pathogen Botrytis cinerea can enter plant cells and hijack
host Argonaute protein 1 (AGO1) to silence host immunity genes. However, the mechanism …

Spray‐induced gene silencing (SIGS) is an innovative and eco‐friendly technology where
topical application of pathogen gene‐targeting RNAs to plant material can enable disease …

Cross-kingdom small RNA trafficking between hosts and microbes modulates gene
expression in the interacting partners during infection. However, whether other RNAs are …

Small RNA (sRNA)-mediated trans-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) between host and
pathogen has been demonstrated and utilized. However, interspecies RNAi in rhizospheric …

Endophytes, which are widely found in host plants and have no harmful effects, are a vital
biological resource. Plant endophytes promote plant growth and enhance plants' resistance …

The origin story and emergence of molecular biology is muddled. The early triumphs in
bacterial genetics and the complexity of animal and plant genomes complicate an intricate …

Spray-induced gene silencing (SIGS) is a powerful and eco-friendly method for crop
protection. Based off the discovery of RNA uptake ability in many fungal pathogens, the …

Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) in multicellular organisms can act as signals transported cell-to-
cell and over long distances. In plants, mRNAs traffic cell-to-cell via plasmodesmata (PDs) …
