Bidirectional cross-kingdom RNAi and fungal uptake of external RNAs confer plant protection. [PDF]
Nat Plants, 2016 Aggressive fungal pathogens such as Botrytis and Verticillium spp. cause severe crop losses worldwide. We recently discovered that Botrytis cinerea delivers small RNAs (Bc-sRNAs) into plant cells to silence host immunity genes. Such sRNA effectors are mostly produced by Botrytis cinerea Dicer-like protein 1 (Bc-DCL1) and Bc-DCL2.

Cross-kingdom RNAi induced by a beneficial endophytic fungus to its host requires transitivity and amplification of silencing signals. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Abstract Cross‐kingdom transfer of small RNA (sRNA) molecules has been identified as a means of communication between plants and interacting microorganisms, but the mechanistic details of this sRNA‐based interaction remain elusive.

Oomycete small RNAs bind to the plant RNA-induced silencing complex for virulence [PDF]
eLife, 2020 The exchange of small RNAs (sRNAs) between hosts and pathogens can lead to gene silencing in the recipient organism, a mechanism termed cross-kingdom RNAi (ck-RNAi).

Plant miRNAs found in human circulating system provide evidences of cross kingdom RNAi. [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2017 Emerging evidence indicates that plant miRNAs can present within human circulating system through dietary intake and regulate human gene expression. Hence we deduced that comestible plants miRNAs can be identified in the public available small RNA sequencing data sets.In this study, we identified abundant plant miRNAs sequences from 410 human plasma ...

ARGONAUTE 1: a node coordinating plant disease resistance with growth and development
Phytopathology Research, 2023 Argonaute (AGO) proteins are highly conserved and widely distributed across various organisms. They mainly associate with small RNAs (sRNAs) and act as integral players of the RNA-induced silencing complex in the RNA interference (RNAi) pathway ...

Small RNA Bidirectional Crosstalk During the Interaction Between Wheat and Zymoseptoria tritici
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Cross-kingdom RNA interference (RNAi) has been shown to play important roles during plant–pathogen interactions, and both plants and pathogens can use small RNAs (sRNAs) to silence genes in each other.
