Abstract: Similar to other eukaryotic system,plant endomembrane system is a functionally inter-related membrane system including the nuclear envelope,the endoplasmic reticulum(ER),the Golgi apparatus,the trans-Golgi network(TGN),vacuoles,endosomes,plasma membrane(PM)and vesicles. It also displays some highly complex and unique characteristics,such as the unique feature of plant TGN and vacuole. This review mainly summarizes the regulatory mechanisms of plant endomembrane trafficking in plant development. We focus on the recent progresses about how endomembrane system regulate auxin polar transport and homeostasis,mechanism of root hair tip growth as well as the vacuole transport in the regulation of pollen tube tip growth and seed germination. We hope this review could be helpful to the researchers who study the process of plant growth,development and endomembrane trafficking.

Key words: plant endomembrane trafficking, polar transport, homeostasis, tip growth, seed germination
