Congrats to Pilar Carbonero, one of my mentors, whose portrait is now part of the series that @upv.es dedicates to woman scientists throughout the city of Valencia. Nice to see her on the wall and in the flesh!

It was already known that auxins (surprise!) had a key role controlling the end of flowering, plant menopause. Now we can tell you how and where they act in the inflorescence meristem to control the process.

Local regulation of auxin-related pathways in the shoot apical meristem plays a major role during proliferative arrest
González-Cuadra et al. show that repression of auxin-related pathways locally in the SAM is key in the control of proliferative arrest. FRUITFULL regulates these pathways to promote meristem arrest. B...

While studying how plants cease flowering we wondered if determinate inflorescences might behave different. Moreover: are fleshy fruits strong sinks that starve the meristem? Arabidopsis did not have the answers, so we turned to 🍅🍅🍅,
Curious?👇👇👇

The quantitative effect of seed production triggers the end of flowering in tomato
Auxin and abscisic acid from tomato seeds act as signals that instruct flower meristems to arrest in a coordinated and quantitative manner.
