“…Due to their central role in plant development, DELLA proteins are subject to a complex network of regulations (Blanco‐Touriñán, Serrano‐Mislata, & Alabadí, 2020; Qianyu et al., 2021). DELLA proteins bind to and modify the transcriptional repressive activity of SPL9, influencing axillary meristem initiation (Zhang et al., 2020).…”

SUMMARYUnderstanding the underlying mechanisms of plant development is crucial to successfully steer or manipulate plant growth in a targeted manner. Leaves, the primary sites of photosynthesis, are vital organs for many plant species, and leaf growth is controlled by a tight temporal and spatial regulatory network. In this review, we focus on the genetic networks governing leaf cell proliferation, one major contributor to final leaf size. First, we provide an overview of six regulator families of leaf growth in Arabidopsis: DA1, PEAPODs, KLU, GRFs, the SWI/SNF complexes, and DELLAs, together with their surrounding genetic networks. Next, we discuss their evolutionary conservation to highlight similarities and differences among species, because knowledge transfer between species remains a big challenge. Finally, we focus on the increase in knowledge of the interconnectedness between these genetic pathways, the function of the cell cycle machinery as their central convergence point, and other internal and environmental cues.
