Commentary explores interconnected parameters of water status and their role in plant sensing mechanisms.
This Commentary defines five interconnected biophysical parameters of cellular water status and proposes a hierarchical framework integrating cell-surface osmosensors with intracellular liquid-liquid phase separation-based sensing mechanisms. It highlights how two recent studies expand our understanding of plant water sensing through distinct condensation-driven pathways.
