Endopolyploidy as a potential alternative adaptive strategy for Arabidopsis leaf size variation in response to UV-B

The extent of endoreduplication in leaf growth is group- or even species-specific, and its adaptive role is still unclear. A survey of Arabidopsis accessions for variation at the level of endopolyploidy, cell number, and cell size in leaves revealed extensive genetic variation in endopolyploidy leve...
