Biomolecular condensates
in plant-environment
interactions

Eukaryotic cells are physically compartmentalized to ensure the efficiency and efficacy of biochemical reactions and cellular functions. Biomolecular condensates, which lack a surrounding lipid membrane, represent a unique mode of compartmentalization. They offer broad advantages over membrane-bound organelles due to their ability to assemble and dissolve spontaneously and rapidly. In most cases, biomolecular condensates are assembled through liquid–liquid phase separation (LLPS) of proteins and/or RNAs. Within a eukaryotic cell, numerous biomolecular condensates are spatially and temporally localized.
