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.

Organ-Size Regulation in Mammals. [PDF]
Cold Spring Harb Perspect Biol, 2015 The control of organism and organ size is a central question in biology. Despite the attention it has received, our understanding of how adult organ size is determined and maintained is still incomplete. Early work has shown that both autonomous and regulated mechanisms drive vertebrate organ growth, and both intrinsic and extrinsic cues contribute to ...

Gαq controls organ size and developmental timing in Drosophila [PDF]
Cell Communication and SignalingThe G protein alpha subunit, Gαq, transduces extracellular signals from G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) into the cell, playing essential roles in developmental processes such as organ size control, wound healing, and disease.

Evolution and conserved functionality of organ size and shape regulator PEAPOD. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 Transcriptional regulator PEAPOD (PPD) and its binding partners comprise a complex that is conserved throughout many core eudicot plants with regard to protein domain sequence and the function of controlling organ size and shape.

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.
