Abstract

Progress in this field since 1978 (Progr. Botany 40, 84:1.c. throughout this review) may be abstracted from books documenting symposia on membrane transport in plants at Toronto 1979 (Spanswick et al., 1980) and at Strasbourg 1981 (Marmé et al. 1982). These recent symposia in a series started at Reinhardsbrunn in 1968 illustrate that significant progress increasingly comes from experimental reduction of the number of membranes and compartments, for instance, from use of protoplasts and suspension cells instead of tissues (Sect. 3), from tonoplast-free cells obtained by perfusion of giant algal cells (Sects. 1 and 4) and, vice versa, from tonoplast studies on isolated vacuoles (Sect. 2); finally from vesicles prepared from microsomal fractions, especially from higher plant tissues (Sect. 1). Another promising technique to study transport seems to be electrical cell fusion demonstrated inter alia on mesophyll protoplasts (Zimmermann and Scheurich, 1981), and even between mesophyll and guard cells (Scheurich et al., 1981).
