Selective packaging of pathogenic non-coding RNAs into plant exosomes mediated through Phloem Protein 2 and Tetraspanin 8 may represent a key mechanism for their cross-kingdom transmission
2025-03-19
Abstract excerpt
The plant apoplast and extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain diverse RNA species, including small RNAs, long non-coding RNAs, and circular RNAs, many of which cross kingdom boundaries through EV-mediated transport. Viroid RNAs—pathogenic circular non-coding RNAs—are known to move from plants to fungi and insects, though the mechanism remains unclear. Using apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) and cucumber as a host, we d...
