Abstract
⺠Small RNAs move cell-to-cell and systemically in plants. ⺠Some plant miRNAs have the capacity to trigger the production of secondary siRNAs to impact plant development.⺠AGO10 acts in plant development through sequence-specific small RNA sequestration. ⺠Heterochromatic siRNAs in plants and piRNAs in mammals silence transposable elements by guiding DNA methylation. ⺠Heterochromatic siRNAs in plants and piRNAs in animals impact germ line specification and meiosis.
