    Inventors: Erik William Clement, Yajie Niu, Frank Anthony Skraly
  • Publication number: 20210254085
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are plant-modifying compositions including a plurality of plant messenger packs (PMPs) (e.g., including a plant extracellular vesicle (EV), or segment, portion, or extract thereof), wherein the PMPs include a plant-modifying agent, and wherein the plant-modifying agent comprising the heterologous RNA. The compositions herein are useful in methods for modifying plants such as to increase plant fitness, wherein the increase in plant fitness comprising an increase in development, growth, yield, resistance to abiotic stressors, or resistance to biotic stressors.
