Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation The phloem transcriptome contained a subset of C. maxima pri-miRNAs distinct from abundant leaf pri-miRNA sequences.
- Observation C. maxima pri-miR319a moved across the graft union through phloem.
- Mechanism The authors infer that phloem miRNA precursors may participate in long-distance signaling.
