The Golgi apparatus is a key component of plant and animal cells. Its primary role is to orchestrate the targeting of proteins and lipids to specific cellular destinations. With advances in our understanding of how the Golgi apparatus operates in plants, it will become possible to manipulate both the timing and the site of delivery of macromolecules, thus influencing plant growth and development. This volume concentrates on the major developments of the last few years, drawing attention to the distinct differences between the plant and non-plant Golgi apparatus and highlighting unsolved problems. A chapter is included on the yeast Golgi apparatus.

Research into plant vacuoles has, over the last five years or so, been injected with new data which have already radically changed our concept of the vacuolar compartment in plant cells. Vacuolar Compartments provides a broad overview of our current understanding of the roles of vacuolar compartments in plant cells. Taking into account the major and radical advances of the last five years, this volume draws together plant scientists from distinguished laboratories around the world to provide a timely overview of our current understanding of plant cell vacuolar compartments, and offers a point of access to the detailed literature.
