title: Transcription factors on the move.
abstract: Mobile transcription factors play essential roles in plant development including the control of cell identity and tissue patterning, as well as organ initiation and the induction of major developmental switches. Within the past few years, the molecules and cellular structures that regulate the movement of these signals have emerged. Here we cover some of the major findings of the past two years as they relate to the intercellular movement of multiple different families of transcription factors.
