  Although the size of an organism is a defining feature, the molecular mechanisms that control the final size of seeds and organs and coordinate overall plant size are largely unknown.We have applied several complementary strategies to identify regulators of seed and organ size in Arabidopsis.Characterization of several seed and organ size regulators, which function in same or independent pathways, revealed the novel regulatory mechanisms of size control.How these regulators control the final size of seeds and organs in Arabidopsis and how to identify ways of rationally engineering increased seed and biomass yield in key crops will be discussed.
