This study examines how the plant hormone cytokinin, specifically cytokinin produced in roots — an often-overlooked organ in flowering time regulation — influences the timing of flowering. By using a systematic genetic approach, it links cytokinin metabolism, transport, and signaling to existing pathways that regulate flowering time, specifically the age pathway involving miR172. https://doi.org/10.1093/plphys/kiaf204
