Tuning the rheostat of immune gene translation

Abstract

Biomolecular condensates assembled through phase transitions regulate diverse aspects of plant growth, development, and stress responses. How biomolecular condensates control plant immunity is poorly understood. In Nature Plants, a new study (Zhou et al., Nat Plants 9:289–301, 2023) reveals how plants assemble translational condensates to balance tissue health and disease resistance.
