Plants must adjust their physiology, development and reproductive decisions in response to a fluctuating environment. Understanding how these adjustments are achieved is fundamental for predicting plant reactions to global environmental changes and for designing mitigation strategies. An often overlooked plant-environmental response is the formation of intranuclear membrane-less organelles known as ‘nuclear bodies’. Currently, the functional role of nuclear bodies remains largely unclear. However, in recent years, they have received increased attention as possible hubs or integrators of environmental signals, and for possibly being part of the sensing machinery itself. Here, we will explore the formation of nuclear bodies under changing light, osmotic, and temperature conditions. We will then hypothesize on their potential functions in facilitating environmentally driven plant responses.

植物必须根据波动的环境调整其生理、发育和生殖决策。了解如何实现这些调整对于预测植物对全球环境变化的反应和设计缓解策略至关重要。一个经常被忽视的植物环境反应是形成被称为“核体”的核内无膜细胞器。目前，核体的功能作用在很大程度上仍不清楚。然而，近年来，它们作为可能的环境信号枢纽或集成器，以及可能成为传感机器本身的一部分而受到越来越多的关注。在这里，我们将探索在变化的光、渗透和温度条件下核体的形成。
