Following the unequivocal demonstration that plants contain at least two types of vacuoles,
scientists studying this organelle have realized that the plant 'vacuome'is far more complex …

Biochemical and electrophysiological studies on plant vacuolar transporters became
feasible in the late 1970s and early 1980s, when methods to isolate large quantities of intact …

Vacuoles in vegetative tissues allow the plant surface to expand by accumulating
energetically cheap inorganic osmolytes, and thereby optimize the plant for absorption of …

Young meristematic plant cells contain a large number of small vacuoles, while the largest
part of the vacuome in mature cells is composed by a large central vacuole, occupying 80 …

The article discusses tonoplast vesicles as a tool in the study of ion transport at the plant
vacuole. The vacuole occupies up to 90% of the volume of a plant cell. Although various …

The central vacuole is the largest compartment of a mature plant cell and may occupy more
than 80% of the total cell volume. However, recent results indicate that beside the large …

▪ Abstract The vacuole of plant cells plays an important role in the homeostasis of the cell. It
is involved in the regulation of cytoplasmic pH, sequestration of toxic ions and xenobiotics …

The vacuole is the largest compartment of a mature plant cell and serves as an internal
reservoir of metabolites and nutrients. In the last years transport of solutes across the …

The central vacuole often fills more than 80—90% of mature plant cells. Vacuoles of many
cells are employed as an'intermediate storage compartment'for ions, sugars, amino acids …

The multifunctional vacuole is the largest organelle in plant cells, and many proteins are
transported to and stored in this organelle; thus, the vacuole has great physiological and …
