Studies on the Japanese soil-borne wheat mosaic virus movement protein highlight its ability to bind plant RNA - Virology Journal
Background Plant viral movement protein (MP) function is decisive for virus cell-to-cell movement. Often, MPs also induce membrane alterations, which are believed to play a role for the establishment ...

If you would like to understand how difficult it is to annotate mobile mRNAs using SNPS read this.

Consider important suggestions/controls: homografts & heterografts, use barcoded reads, minimise RT-PCRs, have a reliable annotated/high quality genome sequence .. etc

Re-analysis of mobile mRNA datasets raises questions about the extent of long-distance mRNA communication - Nature Plants
This study reveals that a substantial number of transcripts that are currently annotated as graft-mobile lack statistical support from available RNA-seq data.

Protein codes promote selective subcellular compartmentalization
Cells have evolved mechanisms to distribute ~10 billion protein molecules to subcellular compartments where diverse proteins involved in shared functions must assemble. Here, we demonstrate that prote...
