Features of the plant Golgi apparatus

  • Chapter
The Golgi Apparatus

Abstract

The plant Golgi apparatus (GA) as its counterparts in mammalian, insect and fungal cells is a multifunctional organelle not only receiving and modifying cargo delivered from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for export, but also synthesising lipids and many of the complex polysaccharides of the cell wall (Neumann et al. 2003). It is also likely that the organelle acts as one of several destinations for endocytosed material (Fowke et al. 1991). The GA in a plant cell is composed of numerous, sometimes many hundreds, individual stacks of cisternae being approximately 1 mm in diameter (Fig. 1). These superficially resemble the stacks reported within insect cells such as Drosophila (Kondylis et al. 2005), with the major difference in that in elongate or mature cells individual stacks demonstrate an actin-based motility, showing a range of movements associated with the surface of ER tubules (Boevink et al. 1998). In this chapter we will concentrate on some of the features that make the plant Golgi unique, such as the motility, the interface with the ER and mechanisms of transport within and from the stack.
