SMALL LEAF AND BUSHY1 controls organ size and lateral branching by modulating the stability of BIG SEEDS1 in Medicago truncatula [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2020 Summary Organ size is a major agronomic trait that determines grain yield and biomass production in crops. However, the molecular mechanisms controlling organ size, especially in legumes, are poorly understood.

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.

Robust organ size requires robust timing of initiation orchestrated by focused auxin and cytokinin signaling [PDF]
Nat Plants, 2020 Organ size and shape are precisely regulated to ensure proper function. The four sepals in each Arabidopsis thaliana flower must maintain the same size throughout their growth to continuously enclose and protect the developing bud.

The Anaphase Promoting Complex/Cyclosome Subunit 11 and Its Role in Organ Size and Plant Development [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a member of the E3 ubiquitin ligase family, plays an important role in recognizing the substrates to be ubiquitylated.

Differential Gene Expression with an Emphasis on Floral Organ Size Differences in Natural and Synthetic Polyploids of Nicotiana tabacum (Solanaceae) [PDF]
Genes (Basel), 2020 Floral organ size, especially the size of the corolla, plays an important role in plant reproduction by facilitating pollination efficiency. Previous studies have outlined a hypothesized organ size pathway. However, the expression and function of many of
