The highly structured eucaryotic cell with its complex division of
biochemical labour requires a distinct protein complement in each
cellular structure and compartment. Nuclear coded and cytosolically
synthesized polypeptides are specifically sorted to every corner of
the cell in a post- or co-translational manner. The presence of
separate genomes and protein translation machineries in plastids
and mitochondria requires further coordination not only on the
transcriptional, translational but also most likely on the protein
import level. Numerous different protein transport systems have
developed and coexist within plant cells to ensure the specific and
selective composition of every sub-cellular compartment. This
volume summarizes the current knowledge on protein trafficking in
plant cells. Aside from the fundamental aspects in cell biology of
how specific pre-protein sorting and translocation across
biological membranes is achieved, a major focus is on transport,
modification and deposition of plant storage proteins. The
increasing use of plants as bioreactors to provide custom-designed
proteins of different usage requires detailed understanding of
these events. This text is directed not only at students and
professionals in plant cell and molecular biology but also at those
involved in horticulture and plant breeding. It is intended to
serve as a text and guide for graduate-level courses on plant cell
biology and as a valuable supplement to courses in plant physiology
and development. Scientists in other disciplines who wish to learn
more about protein translocation in plants will also find this text
an up-to-date source of information and reference.
