HighlightsOptical tweezers (OT) allow users to physically trap plant organelles in vivo.Functional role of organelle positioning and interaction can be determined using OT.OT can be used to quantify force components driving organelle movement.OT have revolutionised our understanding of plant organelle dynamics.Optical tweezers enable users to physically trap organelles and move them laterally within the plant cell. Recent advances have highlighted physical interactions between functionally related organelle pairs, such as ER–Golgi and peroxisome–chloroplast, and have shown how organelle positioning affects plant growth. Quantification of these processes has provided insight into the force components which ultimately drive organelle movement and positioning in plant cells. Application of optical tweezers has therefore revolutionised our understanding of plant organelle dynamics.
