Multiple functions of the vacuole in plant growth and fruit quality

Abstract Vacuoles are organelles in plant cells that play pivotal roles growth and developmental regulation. The main functions of vacuoles include maintaining cell acidity turgor pressure, regulating the storage transport substances, controlling localization key proteins through endocytic lysosomal-vacuolar pathways, responding to biotic abiotic stresses. Further, localized either tonoplast (vacuolar membrane) or inside vacuole lumen critical for fruit quality. In this review, we summarize discuss some emerging regulatory mechanisms associated with vacuoles, including biogenesis, development, quality, plant-microbe interaction, as well innovative research technology has driven advances field. Together, important investigation plants is great scientific significance potential applications agriculture.
