Research into plant vacuoles has, over the last 5 years or so, been
injected with new data which has already radically changed our
concept of the vacuolar compartment in plant cells. In fact, we
should no longer speak of the vacuole, but rather of vacuolar
compartments which are functionally different entities and can
coexist in the same cell. There is no longer a universal vacuole in
which all vacuolar functions can be recognized. Single types of
vacuole may be present in a plant cell, but they may give way to
other types during development, and a single type of vacuole may
arise through fusion of different ones. Vacuoles can be
distinguished not only on the basis of their stored contents, but
also in terms of the processing of enzymes that they contain and
the type of aquaporin present in their boundary membrane, the
tonoplast. The multi-vacuole hypothesis, as we might term it, has
considerable repercussions for protein trafficking, making the
plant cell a considerably more complex system to work with than in
other eukaryotes.
