New OA Brief Comm: "Cross-kingdom RNA interference promotes arbuscular mycorrhiza development" rdcu.be/e72nc Symbiotic fungi forming widespread arbuscular mycorrhiza symbioses use cross-kingdom RNAi to silence plant genes and promote their colonization of host roots.

Happy to share our latest publication in the Weiberg Lab: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/... Here we uncovered how fungal argonautes regulate bidirectional cross-kingdom RNAi during infection of plants. Big thanks to @oberkoflerlorenz.bsky.social and everyone who was involved in the story.
