Abstract
⺠RNA silencing moves in plants from cell-to-cell and over long distances. ⺠Short interfering (si)RNAs, not longer precursors, are the nucleic acid involved. ⺠siRNAs direct long-distance post-transcriptional and chromatin-based silencing. ⺠All classes of endogenous siRNAs have the potential to move in Arabidopsis. ⺠Epiallelism and trans-generational memory may arise from siRNA mobility.
