AbstractPlants are very important because they provide us with food, fuel, and medicine. However, climate change and other environmental challenges constantly threaten their growth and yield. Therefore, it's crucial to create "climate resilient crops" that can adapt to changing climate conditions to support sustainable agriculture. The goal of this project is to understand how plants use biomolecular condensates - microscale compartments found in all forms of life - to sense their environment and reprog
