Abstract
Although silent transposons in plants can be reactivated by stress or during development, their potential deleterious effects are prevented by transposon-derived epigenetically activated small interfering RNAs (easiRNAs). A new study shows how serendipitous interactions between reactivated transposons and endogenous microRNAs might initiate easiRNA biogenesis, establishing an unexpected link between these two classes of silencing small RNAs.Mesh：
