To date, several publications have referred to the relationship between the level of endoreduplication and cell size in Arabidopsis, claiming that enhanced/suppressed endocycling by mutation and transgenes results in increased/decreased cell size in leaves, respectively. Most of these studies have quantified the increase in cell size and ploidy level; a correlation between the two variables has been proposed but it has not been confronted to a qualitative meta-analysis of the existing data.
