Preface Vacuoles occupy a large volume in a plant cell and have important storage, homeostatic, and regulatory functions. Given the status of this organelle in the cell, it is crucial to understand not only its biogenesis but also how proteins reach and accumulate in the plant vacuole. Indeed, protein vacuolar trafficking is a major topic in the study of protein sorting in plants, being the issue of several studies for several years. This volume of the Methods in Molecular Biology series aims to provide the scientific community in this subject with a collection of a significant number of state-of-the-art protocols, ranging from the design and preparation of fusion proteins and expression vectors to a more detailed analysis involving different microscopy techniques.
