| Research Abstract |
What controls size is an important question in both basic and applied biology but the intrinsic mechanism mediating this control is not well understood. In this study, we aimed at unraveling the molecular mechanism controlling organ size in plants. Using Arabidopsis as a model system, we identified novel genes regulating cell proliferation, cell expansion and cell differentiation, and provided new molecular insights into how plants control organ size through modulating these cellular processes.
