Abstract excerpt
Organ growth up to a species-specific size is tightly regulated in plants and animals. Final organ size is remarkably constant within a given species, suggesting that a species-specific size checkpoint terminates organ growth in a coordinated and timely manner. Phytohormones influence plant organ size, but their precise functions in size control are unclear because of their pleiotropic and complex developmental...
