summary Protein secretion is an ubiquitous but poorly understood process in plants. Secreted proteins are synthesized on the membranes of the rough endoplasmic reticulum and transported to the cell surface by secretary vesicles formed at the Golgi apparatus. Whereas many of the structural details of this process are known the mechanisms underlying secretion are just beginning to be understood, in this article we review some of the recent developments in this field, and we compare the progress made with animal and plant cells.CONTENTSSummary 567 I.
