INFORMATION CONTROL. “Plasmodesmata controlling information flow. Plasmodesmatal connections enable movement of proteins and nucleic acids as well as smaller molecules between plant cells. Movement of transcription factors and nucleic acids has the potential to activate or repress genes in cells remote from the source by activation of DNA methylation or by mRNA translation; oligonucleotides with specific sequences can silence genes.”
