Water sensing in seeds by FLOE1 phase transitions
Dev Cell.
.
Abstract
Seeds survive in a low-hydrated state and germinate upon water exposure. In a recent issue of Cell, Dorone et al. describe the prion-like protein FLOE1 and its role in inhibiting seeds' response to low water levels. Upon hydration, FLOE1 undergoes phase separation from the cytoplasm into gel-like droplets.
