Earlier this year plant scientists met in Santa Fe, New Mexico at the Keystone Symposium "RNA Silencing Mechanisms in Plants". Sessions included small RNA biogenesis and signalling, development and stress responses, small RNA-directed DNA methylation, and interaction with pathogens. This report highlights some of the prominent and recurring themes at the meeting and emerging arenas of future research.
