Abstract
Small RNA molecules can target a particular virus, gene, or transposable element (TE) with a high degree of specificity. Their ability to move from cell to cell and recognize targets in trans also allows building networks capable of regulating a large number of related targets at once. In the case of epigenetic silencing, small RNA may use the widespread distribution of TEs in eukaryotic genomes to coordinate many loci across developmental and generational time. Here, we discuss the intriguing role of plant small RNA in targeting transposons and repeats in pollen and seeds. Epigenetic reprogramming in the germline and early seed development provides a mechanism to control genome dosage, imprinted gene expression, and incompatible hybridizations via the "triploid block."
