Preface All eukaryotic cells, including plants, possess an endomembrane system with multiple membrane-bound organelles of distinct functions. These include the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), the Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network (TGN), an endosome usually called a prevacuolar compartment (PVC) or alternatively multivesicular body (MVB), and vacuole. It is generally believed that protein secretion in eukaryote
