title: Sweet size control in tomato.
abstract: All cells of an adult plant are ultimately derived from divisions that occur in small groups of cells distributed throughout the plant, termed meristems. A new study shows that carbohydrate post-translational modification of a peptide signal influences meristem and, as a consequence, fruit size in tomato.
