This study shows that reproductive timing is preserved under stress through dynamic control of gonadal growth in C. elegans, maintaining reproductive-to-somatic size ratios.

The paper identifies VHP-1 as a buffer against pharynx-to-body growth imbalance in C. elegans by showing its role in modulating MAPK pathways under tissue-specific growth perturbations.

The paper shows that YAP-1 coordinates organ growth with body size in C. elegans to maintain uniform proportions, even under tissue-specific growth inhibition.
