In addition to serving as templates for protein translation, mRNAs can be used as mobile molecules to record and distribute environmental cues systemically.

We aim to address:

· What are the functions of mobile mRNAs?

· How do mobile mRNAs move?

Our projects include:

· mRNA live-cell imaging: intra- and inter-cellular delivery of mobile mRNAs

· Floral regulation by mobile mRNAs

· Interspecies mRNA exchange between plant and fungi
