Nitrate Defines Shoot Size through Compensatory Roles for Endoreplication and Cell Division in Arabidopsis thaliana
Moreno et al. show that nitrate regulates shoot growth by modulating cell size and endoreplication. They identify the LGO gene as a regulatory factor influencing ploidy and cell size, depending on ext...
