The paper explains how the balance between PLETHORA protein complexes and unbound PLETHORA determines regenerative competence in Arabidopsis roots, revealing a ratiometric mechanism for transcription factor dosage.

This study shows that Drosophila melanogaster populations adapted to larval crowding better counter age disadvantages in competition than low-density controls, but differences in egg size and hatching time among these populations do not improve their performance against age-disadvantaged competitors.
