Membrane-less organelles, formed by the condensation of biomolecules, play a pivotal role in eukaryotes. Artificial membrane-less organelles and condensates are effective tools for the creation of new cellular functions. However, it is poorly understood how to control the properties that affect condensate function, particularly in plants. Here, we report the construction of model artificial condensates using the condensation-prone proteins OsJAZ2 and AtFCA in a transient assay using rice (Oryza sativa) cells, and how condensate properties, such as subcellular localization, protein mobility, and size can be altered. We showed that proteins of interest can be recruited to condensates using nanobodies or chemically induced dimerization. Furthermore, by combining two types of condensation-prone proteins, we demonstrated that artificial hybrid condensates with heterogeneous material properties could be constructed. Finally, we showed that modified artificial condensates can be constructed in transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants. These results provide a framework for the basic design of synthetic membrane-less organelles in plants.
