Robust organ size in Arabidopsis is primarily governed by cell growth rather than cell division patterns.

Abstract excerpt

Organ sizes and shapes are highly reproducible, or robust, within a species and individuals. Arabidopsis thaliana sepals, which are the leaf-like organs that enclose flower buds, have consistent size and shape, indicating robust development. Cell growth is locally heterogeneous due to intrinsic and extrinsic noise. To achieve robust organ shape, fluctuations in cell growth must average to an even growth rate,...
