Localized JNK signaling regulates organ size during development [PDF]
eLife, 2016 A fundamental question of biology is what determines organ size. Despite demonstrations that factors within organs determine their sizes, intrinsic size control mechanisms remain elusive.

Cellulose synthase-like D1 controls organ size in maize [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Plant architecture is a critical factor that affects planting density and, consequently, grain yield in maize. The genes or loci that determine organ size are the key regulators of plant architecture.
