Abstract
Although the transport of ions across plasma membrane and tonoplast is central to many aspects of plant life, transport is not confined to these membranes. Ions, together with other solutes, move into and out of a variety of subcellular compartments. In this chapter we will consider the transport of solutes within the cytoplasm and between neighbouring cells, i.e. local movement. This involves not only fluxes of ions between sub-cellular compartments and cells, but also traffic in metabolites, including carbon fixed during photosynthesis. Solute transport over longer distances is considered in the later chapters.
