phase-separation
Phase separation is a biophysical process in which a homogeneous mixture spontaneously partitions into two or more distinct phases, a phenomenon increasingly recognized in cellular biology through the formation of membraneless organelles called biomolecular condensates. In plant cells, phase separation plays a critical role in organizing gene regulation, stress responses, and signaling pathways by concentrating specific proteins and nucleic acids into dynamic compartments. Understanding how plants exploit phase separation offers new insights into adaptive mechanisms such as drought tolerance, temperature sensing, and developmental control.
