<jats:title>One Hormone, Two Phases</jats:title><jats:p>The switch from vegetative growth to flowering in the plant<jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic>involves two phases—inflorescence branching and flowering.<jats:bold>Yamaguchi<jats:italic>et al.</jats:italic></jats:bold>(p.<jats:related-article xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" ext-link-type="doi" issue="6184" page="638" related-article-type="in-this-issue" vol="344" xlink:href="10.1126/science.1250498">638</jats:related-article>) examined how the phytohormone gibberellin regulates each phase differently. First, gibberellin levels increase and stimulate production of key flowering factors, one of which degrades gibberellin. As gibberellin levels then fall, the next phase of flowering factors is released from gibberellin repression. By regulating inflorescence branching separately from flowering, this system determines overall seed yield.</jats:p>
