Rare earth elements are widely used in agriculture to promote plant growth. Here the authors show that aerial application of a rare earth element to the leaves triggers a graft-transmissible, RbohD- and jasmonic acid-dependent systemic signal that triggers endocytosis and mineral nutrient uptake in roots.
