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.

Very nice new insights on ARGONAUT in plant reproductive cells from the GMI. Have a look... doi.org/10.1093/plce...
