The paper identifies a 3-component module involving VIP4, ARF3, and VANGUARD1 that maintains sepal flatness in Arabidopsis by regulating cell wall stiffness and growth balance.

The paper quantitatively investigates how cell size variation affects sepal shape robustness in Arabidopsis, finding that cell size heterogeneity is not essential for shape robustness.

The paper shows that Paf1C reduces transcriptional noise in Arabidopsis, leading to more consistent organ shape by managing mechanical conflicts.
