Small RNAs at the Interface of the Plant-Fungal Interactions
Author(s): Cole R. Sawyer and Jessy L. Labbé*
Fungi and plants interact in a myriad of ways. These interactions range from mutualism to parasitism, and yet, many
plant species appear to use similar tools to deal with both. One recent observation is the role that small RNAs play in
mediating the conversation between plant and fungus. Increasingly, many studies demonstrate these RNAs are pivotal
modulators, reprogramming gene expression and cellular processes essential to the biogenesis of these inter-kingdom
relationships... View More»
