Transcript Abundance Explains mRNA Mobility Data in Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
The Plant Cell, 2016 Recently, a large population of mRNA was shown to be able to travel between plant organs via sieve elements as a putative long-distance signaling molecule. However, a mechanistic basis by which transcripts are selected for transport has not yet been identified.

Arabidopsis cyclophilins direct plasmodesmata-targeting of mobile mRNA via organelle hitchhiking [PDF]
, 2022 Abstract Plants selectively transport mobile mRNAs through intercellular pores, plasmodesmata (PD), to distribute spatial information for synchronizing meristematic differentiation with environmental dynamics. However, how plants recognize and deliver mobile mRNAs to PD remains unknown.

Real-Time Messenger RNA Dynamics in Bacillus subtilis
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021 Messenger RNA molecules have been localized to different positions in cells and have been followed by time-lapse microscopy. We have used MS2-mVenus–labeled mRNA and single-particle tracking to obtain information on the dynamics of single-mRNA molecules ...

Transcriptome Analyses of Tumor-Adjacent Somatic Tissues Reveal Genes Co-Expressed with Transposable Elements [PDF]
, 2019 Background: Despite the long-held assumption that transposons are normally only expressed in the germ-line, recent evidence shows that transcripts of transposable element (TE) sequences are frequently found in the somatic cells.

The Impact of the Long-Distance Transport of a BEL1-Like Messenger RNA on Development [PDF]
, 2012 BEL1- and KNOTTED1-type proteins are transcription factors from the three-amino-loop-extension superclass that interact in a tandem complex to regulate the expression of target genes.

Selective Targeting of Mobile mRNAs to Plasmodesmata for Cell-to-Cell Movement [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2018 Many plant mRNAs move from cell to cell or long distance to execute non-cell-autonomous functions. These mobile mRNAs traffic through the phloem to regulate many developmental processes, but despite the burgeoning discovery of mobile mRNAs, little is known about the mechanism underlying the intracellular sorting of these mRNAs.

Group II intron inhibits conjugative relaxase expression in bacteria by mRNA targeting
eLife, 2018 Group II introns are mobile ribozymes that are rare in bacterial genomes, often cohabiting with various mobile elements, and seldom interrupting housekeeping genes. What accounts for this distribution has not been well understood.

Systemic movement of FT mRNA and a possible role in floral induction
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein is known to be part of the mobile flowering inducing ‘florigen’ signal in plants, but it may not be acting alone. This article reviews the data that FT mRNA can also move systemically throughout the plant and into the shoot

Techniques for RNA in vivo imaging in plants [PDF]
, 2014 Since the discovery of small RNAs and RNA silencing, RNA biology has taken a centre stage in cell and developmental biology. Small RNAs, but also mRNAs and other types of cellular and viral RNAs are processed at specific subcellular localizations.
