Cell Size Control in Bacteria [PDF]
Like eukaryotes, bacteria must coordinate division with growth to ensure cells are the appropriate size for a given environmental condition or developmental fate. As single-celled organisms, nutrient availability is one of the strongest influences on bacterial cell size.

Cell Size Regulation in Mammalian Cells [PDF]
The regulation of cell growth and proliferation is fundamental for animal development and homeostasis but the mechanisms that coordinate cell growth with cell cycle progression are poorly understood. One possibility is that "cell-size checkpoints" act to delay division until cells have achieved a minimal size or mass however, the existence of such ...

A central challenge in plant ecology is to define the major axes of plant functional variation with direct consequences for fitness. Central to the three main components of plant fitness (growth, survival, and reproduction) is the rate of metabolic ...

Fruit size and shape are important qualities and yield traits in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.), but the factors that influence fruit size and shape remain to be explored. In this study, we investigated the dynamic changes of fruit size and shape from the

Adipose cell size: importance in health and disease.
Adipose tissue is necessary to harbor energy. To handle excess energy, adipose tissue expands by increasing adipocyte size (hypertrophy) and number (hyperplasia). Here, we have summarized the different experimental techniques used to study adipocyte cell

Cell size plays an indirect role in cell proliferation, as cells must double in size before dividing. Cell size is largely determined by the activity of RNA polymerase I that controls ribosomal RNA synthesis and ribosome biogenesis. The type 1 insulin-like growth factor receptor (IGF-IR) and its docking protein, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1 ...

Cell-size control: Complicated [PDF]
Cells usually grow to a proper size before they divide. To ensure an optimal size for cell survival and function, it is crucial that cells develop efficient and sensitive mechanisms for cell-size control. In 2009, 2 independent studies proposed that the DYRK-family kinase Pom1 could serve as a cell-length sensor to negatively regulate mitotic entry ...

Conserved cellular patterning in the mesophyll of rice leaves
The mesophyll cells of grass leaves, such as rice, are traditionally viewed as displaying a relatively uniform pattern, in contrast to the clear distinctions of palisade and spongy layers in typical eudicot leaves. This quantitative analysis of mesophyll
