ABSTRACT
Messenger RNAs (mRNAs) are the templates for protein translation but can also act as non-cell-autonomous signaling molecules. Plants input endogenous and exogenous cues to mobile mRNAs and output them to local or systemic target cells and organs to support specific plant responses. Mobile mRNAs form ribonucleoprotein (RNP) complexes with proteins during transport. Components of these RNP complexes could interact with plasmodesmata (PDs), a major mediator of mRNA transport, to ensure mRNA mobility and transport selectivity. Based on advances in the last two to three years, this review summarizes mRNA transport mechanisms in local and systemic signaling from the perspective of RNP complex formation and PD transport. We also discuss the physiological roles of endogenous mRNA transport and the recently revealed roles of non-cell-autonomous mRNAs in inter-organism communication.
