- Mechanism A shared genetic pathway promotes large, polyploid pavement cells in both sepals and leaves.
- 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.
