Messenger RNA just entered the chat: The next layer of cross-kingdom RNA transfer
Messenger RNA just entered the chat: The next layer of cross-kingdom RNA transfer
- Cell Host & Microbe, 32(1), p.7-8, 2024 .
Infectious fungi send small RNAs into plant cells to enhance their virulence by silencing defense-related genes. In this issue of Cell Host Microbe, Wang and colleagues show that full-length messenger RNA is transported in vesicles from plants to fungi, becoming translated by fungal ribosomes and reducing fungal pathogenicity.
