In plants, transcripts move to distant body parts to potentially act as systemic signals
regulating development and growth. Thousands of messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are …

In plants, protein-coding mRNAs can move via the phloem vasculature to distant tissues,
where they may act as non-cell-autonomous signals. Emerging work has identified many …

Plants have evolved dynamic and complex networks of cell-to-cell communication to
coordinate and adapt their growth and development to a variety of environmental changes …

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) …

Grafting has been widely used to improve horticultural traits. It has also served increasingly
as a tool to investigate the long‐distance transport of molecules that is an essential part for …

Background Grafting has been widely practiced for centuries in the propagation and
production of many vegetable and fruit species. However, the underlying molecular and …
