Mitochondrial function and cell size: an allometric relationship

TP Miettinen, M Björklund - Trends in cell biology, 2017 - cell.com
Allometric scaling of metabolic rate results in lower total mitochondrial oxygen consumption
with increasing organismal size. This is considered a universal law in biology. Here, we …

Cycling in a crowd: Coordination of plant cell division, growth, and cell fate

R Sablowski, C Gutierrez - The Plant Cell, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The reiterative organogenesis that drives plant growth relies on the constant production of
new cells, which remain encased by interconnected cell walls. For these reasons, plant …

A cellular analysis of meristem activity at the end of flowering points to cytokinin as a major regulator of proliferative arrest in Arabidopsis

P Merelo, I González-Cuadra, C Ferrándiz - Current Biology, 2022 - cell.com
In monocarpic plants, all reproductive meristem activity arrests and flower production ceases
