RNA silencing is a gene regulatory mechanism that controls development, stress responses and molecular parasites such as viruses, transgenes and transposons. The sequence-specificity of this regulation relies on small non-coding RNA (sRNA) molecules. Spreading of RNA silencing across the plant has been recognized for nearly two decades, however, only recent publications demonstrated beyond a doubt that sRNAs act as mobile silencing signals. I will discuss the consequences of mobile sRNAs on target gene expression.
