Recent research reveals that plant mRNAs, packaged in extracellular vesicles, are delivered into fungal pathogen cells. Remarkably, the transferred mRNAs are translated by fungal ribosomes, generating functional proteins that impede infection. These findings offer new promising avenues to modify cellular performance by rapid delivery of mRNAs in plant-derived vesicles.
