Abstract

The main types of plant cell vacuoles and their characteristics were described. Their structure, functions, and role in maintainig of cellular homeostasis were outlined. The vesicular transport models and their different vacuolar destinations were presened and particular features of vesicular transport and destination were described for different types of vacuoles. The further promissing directions of vacuolar research were discussed.
