| THE GENETICS BEHIND MINIATURE PLANTS |
| How do organisms maintain their size and shape despite varying environmental conditions? Unlike animals, plants are sessile and cannot maintain their internal body temperatures during ambient temperature changes. Thus, plants have evolved complex genetic pathways to maintain normal growth patterns during temperature changes. |
