title: Where steroids meet the cell cycle in architecture.
abstract: Understanding how plant architecture is controlled is not only important from a developmental point of view, but it also has direct consequence for agriculture. Reporting in this issue of Developmental Cell, Sun et al. (2015) unravel a cascade from Brassinosteroids to a poorly understood U-type cyclin in rice leaf erectness.
