Using the fascinating system of vacuole regeneration in evacuolated protoplast, the authors provide evidence of a special type of autophagy participating in vacuole biogenesis and/or enlargement. Combining light and electron microscopy they provide convincing evidence of uptake of cytosolic contents into the vacuole during the regeneration process. This uptake and vacuole biogenesis were insensitive to inhibitors of regular starvation induced autophagy.

Divergent functions of VTI12 and VTI11 in trafficking to storage and lytic vacuoles in Arabidopsis. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 104 (2007) 3645-3650. The authors report a novel screen for mutants that secrete the vacuolar storage cargo VAC2. VAC2 is a fusion of CLV3 to the vacuolar sorting determinants of barley lectin. Secretion of VAC2 in the trafficking mutants leads to early termination of shoot and floral meristems, a phenotype easily detected. They then show that the SNARE VTI12 is required for transport of VAC2 as well as of other storage cargo, while VTI11 may be required for transport of lytic cargo.

33. •] complement the genetic data obtained in this model plant. The authors show that storage cargo first segregates to the rims of the cisternae at the cis side of the Golgi, similarly to what they had reported in pea seeds. Importantly, RMRs but not with VSRs are found at the rims of the cisternae at the cis side, indicating that this initial segregation of cargo may be dependent on RMRs but not on VSRs.

Plant Cell 18 (2006) 2567-2581. In this study, double immunolabelling was used to analyze the localization of different types of cargo and of VSRs in Arabidopsis seeds. The authors demonstrate that VSRs are present in dense vesicles together with storage cargo, which supports a role of VSRs as receptors for storage proteins. Moreover, they show that storage cargo and processing proteases are first separated in the Golgi but then converge in the PVC, where processing starts.

Arabidopsis vacuolar sorting mutants (green fluorescent seed) can be identified efficiently by secretion of vacuole-targeted green fluorescent protein in their seeds. Plant Cell 19 (2007) 597-609. The authors report an efficient screen for mutants that secrete in seeds a storage vacuole marker, SP-GFP-CT24, which consists on GFP with a signal peptide fused to the vacuolar sorting determinant from β-conglycinin. Secretion of SP-GFP-CT24 stabilizes the protein and the mutant seeds are highly fluorescent. Through this screen the authors have found novel alleles of VSR1 and a membrane-associated protein of unknown function.
