VPS45 is required for both diffuse and tip growth of Arabidopsis thaliana cells
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 IntroductionVPS45 belongs to the Sec1/Munc18 family of proteins, which interact with and regulate Qa-SNARE function during membrane fusion. We have shown previously that Arabidopsis thaliana VPS45 interacts with the SYP61/SYP41/VTI12 SNARE complex, which

Vacuole: a repository to control fruit flavor quality
Fruit Research, 2023 The content of sugar and organic acid is the main factor that determines the fruit flavor quality and yield. More specifically, the ratio of sugar to organic acid affects the taste and nutritional value of fruits.

Microtubules play a role in trafficking prevacuolar compartments to vacuoles in tobacco pollen tubes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Fine regulation of exocytosis and endocytosis plays a basic role in pollen tube growth. Excess plasma membrane secreted during pollen tube elongation is known to be retrieved by endocytosis and partially reused in secretory pathways through the Golgi ...

A Review of Plant Vacuoles: Formation, Located Proteins, and Functions
Plants, 2019 Vacuoles, cellular membrane-bound organelles, are the largest compartments of cells, occupying up to 90% of the volume of plant cells. Vacuoles are formed by the biosynthetic and endocytotic pathways.

An ancient RAB5 governs the formation of additional vacuoles and cell shape in petunia petals
Cell Reports, 2021 Summary: Homologous (“canonical”) RAB5 proteins regulate endosomal trafficking to lysosomes in animals and to the central vacuole in plants. Epidermal petal cells contain small vacuoles (vacuolinos) that serve as intermediate stations for proteins on ...

To Lead or to Follow: Contribution of the Plant Vacuole to Cell Growth
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Cell division and cell elongation are fundamental processes for growth. In contrast to animal cells, plant cells are surrounded by rigid walls and therefore loosening of the wall is required during elongation.
