The Structure and Function of Plant Coated Vesicles

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIH,volume 18))

Abstract

Protoplasts have been used extensively for basic studies of plant cells and their organelles. Research has included studies of cell fusion (Gleba and Sytnik 1984), the plasma membrane (Leonard and Rayder 1985; Fowke 1986), the cytoskeleton (Willison and Klein 1982) and cell organelle isolation and characterization (Hall 1983). Recent research has shed light on the structure and function of a little known organelle in plants, the coated vesicle. Studies with plant protoplasts have clearly indicated that coated vesicles are involved in the endocytosis of externally supplied labels which are delivered sequentially to a number of membranous organelles and ultimately to the central vacuole of plants. This chapter summarizes some of the recent developments which have clarified our understanding of the function of plant coated vesicles.
