Re-analysis of mobile mRNA datasets raises questions about the extent of long-distance mRNA communication - Nature Plants This study reveals that a substantial number of transcripts that are currently annotated as graft-mobile lack statistical support from available RNA-seq data.

If you would like to understand how difficult it is to annotate mobile mRNAs using SNPS read this.

Consider important suggestions/controls: homografts & heterografts, use barcoded reads, minimise RT-PCRs, have a reliable annotated/high quality genome sequence .. etc

The biology of grafting and its applications in studying information exchange between plants - Nature Plants This Review discusses the uses of grafting in basic and applied research and summarizes our current understanding of the mechanisms involved in the exchange of genes, genomes, RNA molecules and protei...

Very nice new insights on ARGONAUT in plant reproductive cells from the GMI. Have a look... doi.org/10.1093/plce...

Congrats! Well deserved....👍
