The interphase cell nucleus is extraordinarily complex, ordered, and dynamic.[br/] In the last decade, remarkable progress has been made in deciphering the functional organisation of the cell nucleus, and intricate relationships between genome functions (transcription, DNA repair, or replication) and various nuclear compartments have been revealed. In this review, we describe the architecture of the Arabidopsis thaliana interphase cell nucleus and discuss the dynamic nature of its organisation.[br/] We underline the need for further developments in quantitative and modelling approaches to nuclear organization.
