Title
How stochastic cell fate and endoreduplication yield non-random epidermal patterns
Nicola Trozzi; Mateusz Majda Quantitative Plant Biology 2026. doi:10.1017/qpb.2026.10043
Other claims from this paper (3)
- Observation An initially random pattern of giant cells can later appear clustered relative to a changing random baseline as tissues grow and subdivide.
- 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.
