Plant meristems: mobile mediators of cell fate.
How do transcription factors control the fates of cells that express them? One class of plant transcription factors has recently been shown to function by regulating the synthesis of cytokinin and gibberellin hormones--mobile molecules more usually associated with long-distance signalling.
