The transportation pathway of mRNA triggered by TLSs and secondary hairpin structure of pre-miRNA. (i) Phloem-mobile mRNAs are transcribed in the source cell and transported from cell nucleus; (ii) The target phloem-mobile mRNA with secondary hairpin structure enters the CC and recognized by binding protein; (iii) The protein carries the target mRNA and pre-miRNA moves through the plasmodesmata assisted by PD receptor protein; (iv) mRNA and pre-miRNA molecules transport in SE; (v) mRNA and pre-miRNA unload from SE to CC; (vi) Finally, target RNAs enters the target cell and translate to functional proteins.
