Intrinsically disordered protein biosensor tracks the physical-chemical effects of osmotic stress on cells

Methods to monitor osmolarity-dependent changes in cell are currently lacking. Here the authors use the Arabidopsis intrinsically disordered AtLEA4-5 protein, which is expressed in plants under water deficit, to develop a FRET biosensor (SED1) to monitor osmotic stress.
