On the cover

Gibberellin-induced internode elongation enables grafting and promotes floral transition in Brassicaceae crops. Left: Elongated internodes induced by gibberellin treatment. The background shows paraffin sections of the elongated internode and hypocotyl of a radish. Center: A grafted plant that successfully flowered following internode elongation. Right: Longitudinal section of the graft junction observed using confocal laser scanning microscopy (This issue, p. 133–143).
