Abstract
The endomembrane system consists of various membrane-bound organelles including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network (TGN), endosomes, and the lysosome/vacuole. Membrane trafficking between distinct compartments is mainly achieved by vesicular transport. As the endomembrane compartments and the machineries regulating the membrane trafficking are largely conserved across all eukaryotes, our current knowledge on organelle biogenesis and endomembrane trafficking in plants has mainly been shaped by corresponding studies in mammals and yeast. However, unique perspectives have emerged from plant cell biology research through the characterization of plant-specific regulators as well as the development and application of the state-of-the-art microscopical techniques. In this review, we summarize our current knowledge on the plant endomembrane system, with a focus on several distinct pathways: ER-to-Golgi transport, protein sorting at the TGN, endosomal sorting on multivesicular bodies, vacuolar trafficking/vacuole biogenesis, and the autophagy pathway. We also give an update on advanced imaging techniques for the plant cell biology research.

Abstract
In the last decade, liquid-liquid phase separation has emerged as a fundamental principle in the organization of crowded cellular environments into functionally distinct membraneless compartments. It is now established that biomolecules can condense into various physical phases, traditionally defined for simple polymer systems, and more recently elucidated by techniques employed in life sciences. We review pioneering cryo-electron tomography studies that have begun to unravel a wide spectrum of molecular architectures, ranging from amorphous to crystalline assemblies, that underlie cellular condensates. These observations bring into question current interpretations of microscopic phase behavior. Furthermore, by examining emerging concepts of non-classical phase separation pathways in small-molecule crystallization, we draw parallels with biomolecular condensation that highlight aspects not yet fully explored. In particular, transient and metastable intermediates that might be challenging to capture experimentally inside cells could be probed through computational simulations and enable a multi-scale understanding of the subcellular organization governed by distinct phases.

Abstract
Vacuoles are the largest membrane-bounded organelles and have essential roles in plant growth and development, but several important questions on the biogenesis and dynamics of lytic vacuoles (LVs) remain. Here, we summarize and discuss recent research and models of vacuole formation, and propose, with testable hypotheses, that besides inherited vacuoles, plant cells can also synthesize LVs de novo from multiple organelles and routes in response to growth and development or external factors. Therefore, LVs may be further classified into different subgroups and/or populations with different pH, cargos, and functions, among which multivesicular body (MVB)-derived small vacuoles are the main source for central vacuole formation in arabidopsis root cortical cells.
