Compartmentation in Plant Cells: The Role of the Vacuole

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Recent Advances in Phytochemistry ((RAPT,volume 16))

Abstract

The mature plant cell vacuole is a multifunctional organelle which is unique to higher plants. It constitutes a compartment which is thought to be anabolically inactive and a primary site for metabolite storage and sequestration.1, 2 Cytologists carried out extensive studies of plant vacuoles during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s which revealed many of the functions of this organelle. This chapter will consider the roles of the vacuole in solute storage and sequestration, and discuss methods now being used to isolate and investigate plant vacuoles. Recent studies which have utilized vacuoles to estimate the compartmentation of solutes and enzymes will be discussed. Possible mechanisms of tonoplast transport will be considered.
