TL;DR: This work describes here the recent discovery that there is a systemic signal that can mediate gene silencing in plants and infer that the signal molecule is likely to be a nucleic acid.
Abstract: Gene silencing in plants is a genetic control mechanism implicated in virus resistance1,2, genome maintenance3 and developmental control4 We describe here our recent discovery that there is a systemic signal that can mediate gene silencing From the gene-specificity of the systemic silencing, we infer that the signal molecule is likely to be a nucleic acid
