Abstract

A/ECT8) in selective mRNA targeting. Finally, we outline open questions regarding the spatial organization of decay, PB-stress granule crosstalk, and hormonal control mechanisms, and highlight methodological avenues to address them. Overall, plant PBs are presented as dynamic regulatory hubs that help tune post-transcriptional control in response to developmental and environmental cues, with their underlying mechanisms increasingly resolved by interdisciplinary strategies combining live-cell imaging, quantitative proteomics, and CRISPR-based genetics.
