When the weather outside is frightful, let it condensate: How the phase separation of an RNA binding protein CP29A helps plants acclimatize to cold.

- Abstract
The article discusses the phase separation of an RNA binding protein called CP29A in plants and its role in helping plants acclimatize to cold temperatures. The study found that CP29A is essential for proper RNA processing and accumulation in chloroplasts under cold conditions. The protein undergoes phase separation in response to cold stress, forming condensates that are adjacent to nucleoids in the chloroplast. The research highlights the importance of CP29A and its phase separation in plant adaptation to low temperatures and RNA metabolism. Additionally, the study suggests that CP29A may play a role in temperature sensing and integration for both heat and cold stressors.
