Other claims from this paper (3)
- Mechanism A shared genetic pathway promotes large, polyploid pavement cells in both sepals and leaves.
- Method / resource The study provides a quantitative framework for testing spatial organization in cellular mosaics where point-based methods fail.
- Mechanism Proliferation history can convert early stochastic fate decisions into a statistically non-random mature pattern.
