Vacuolar transporters and their essential role in plant metabolism

Abstract

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 than they expected. Some fully developed cells contain at least two large vacuoles, with different functions. Remarkably, even a single vacuole may be subdivided and fulfil several functions, which are supported in part by the vacuolar membrane transport systems. Recent studies, including proteomic analyses for several plant species, have revealed the tonoplast transporters and their involvement in the nitrogen storage, salinity tolerance, heavy metal homeostasis, calcium signalling, guard cell movements, and the cellular pH homeostasis. It is clear that vacuolar transporters are an integrated part of a complex cellular network that enables a plant to react properly to changing environmental conditions, to save nutrients and energy in times of plenty, and to maintain optimal metabolic conditions in the cytosol. An overview is given of the main features of the transporters present in the tonoplast of plant cells in terms of their function, regulation, and relationships with the microheterogeneity of the vacuome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
