How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 66, No. 5 (2015), pp. 1191-1203 (13 pages) Tonoplast intrinsic proteins (TIPs) are integral membrane proteins that are known to function in plants as aquaporins.

These storage proteins, accumulated in the vacuoles of seeds such as beans and wheat, are not only vital for plant growth but also represent an important agricultural resource closely tied to our ...

Bite into a sour apple and you destroy them – plant cell vacuoles. Even though these vacuoles make up the largest volume of plant cells, only little was known about how these cellular storehouses form ...

This is a fluorescence microscopy image of a normal, "wild-type" (left) and a mutant (right) cell in which the vacuole membrane is marked in green. Comparing wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana to a mutant ...
