The paper shows that cell wall degrading enzymes enable extracellular vesicles to deliver RNA into plants by compromising the cell wall.

This study identifies VIRP1 as a host factor that facilitates PSTVd accumulation through nuclear condensate formation and stress-related pathways.

This study uses simulations and experiments to identify residues in PARCL that drive phase separation and RNA binding, enabling targeted engineering of biomolecular condensates.

This paper develops a CRISPR/Cas13a-based method for rapid, direct, and specific detection of RNA viruses in crop plants, successfully identifying ToBRFV, CGMMV, and TuMV.

The paper investigates how m5C RNA methylation and ALY2/ALY4 nuclear export factors regulate mRNA transport during plant development, showing that this regulation changes with developmental stages.
