Over the last century, the Golgi apparatus has attracted the attention of
researchers world-wide. This highly variable and polymorphic organelle
plays a central role in intracellular membrane traffic. Not only does it
receive all the secretory material and membrane synthesized by the
endoplasmic reticulum and modifies these products by glycosylation, but
also packages them and sends them in vesicular carriers to their correct
destinations. It is also capable of the synthesis of complex
polysaccharides used for building cell walls, a feature unique for higher
plants. Yet, the current models of Golgi function are based on those
established for yeast and mammalian cells and may not be completely
relevant to plants. This review is an attempt to summarize the current
knowledge of the plant Golgi apparatus and, where possible, to discuss the
applicability of the current models of Golgi function to the plant
cell.Keywords: Golgi apparatus, intracellular membrane
traffic, secretion, vesicles
