Plant meristems: a ménage à trois to end it all.
Regulated termination of stem cell maintenance is required to complete reproductive development in plants. Two recent studies have revealed a new relationship for some old suspects; the WUSCHEL gene, which promotes indeterminancy, is involved as well as the floral regulators LEAFY and AGAMOUS.
