THE PLANT CELL
VACUOLE
tonoplast
vacuole
THE PLANT CELL
Functions of the vacuole – cell sap:
• stores secondary metabolites, reserve substances and
protective agents
• accumulates and neutralizes harmful substances ←
metabolic processes
• regulates osmotic balance
cell sap: more concentrated than soil solutions –
uptake of soil solutions possible
• provides turgidity for the plant cell
CYTOPLASMIC INCLUSIONS
• vacuolar products of the cytoplasm
• definite shape and size
• solid: e.g. aleurone grains, crystals
• liquid: oils, essential oils
Significance:
• storage of reserve substances
• by- or end-products of metabolic processes
Chemical character:
• proteins, carbohydrates,oils and fats, essential
oils, resins, balsams, crystals
Protein Inclusions
• seeds – reserve substances
Aleurone grains:
dry, protein-containing vacuoles + little carbohydrate
• iodine  brownish-yellow (protein reaction)
Homogeneous: single type of protein
• small protein grains in large amount; often forming a
distinct layer (e.g. wheat grain – below seed coat)
• together with starch grains in the same cells (e.g. legume
seeds)
Heterogeneous: more than one kind of protein
Protein Inclusions
• Globulins:
seeds of cereals and
legumes (legumin)
•Gluten:
glutenin + gliadin in
endosperm of cereal grains
Oil and Fat Inclusions
• Plant fats and oils: emulsions or droplets,
grains in the cytoplasm
(fat-, or oil-vacuoles)
• Function: reserve substances
• Chemically: triglycerides (fatty acids +
glycerin)
Plant fats and oils
cocoa butter  cocoa beans
- cocoa powder, chocolate,
pharmaceutical technology, cosmetics
kakaófa
coconut oils (copra) 
coconut palm
– soap production
Plant fats and oils
flaxseed oil  flax
- blood vessel health
poppyseed oil  poppy –
painting
Plant Fats and Oils
sunflower oil
• edible oil,
• cosmetics,
• pharmaceutical formulations
olive oil  olive tree
– edible oil
Plant Fats and Oils
castor oil  castor beans,
laxative, brake oils
Waxes:
• fatty acids + alcohol
• whitish layer on fruits, stems, leaves
parallel wax structures
(Asparagus shoot)
wax structures on a leaf
Essential oils, resins and balsams
• Essential oils /ethereal oils /volatile oils:
•
•
•
•
insoluble in water;
can be diluted in solvents like ethanol, oils
extraction: distillation, expression, solvent
extraction
terpenes
in vacuoles, reflective drops in the cytoplasm
vacuoles fuse  fill the whole cell
 adjacent oil-containing cells can merge
Essential oils
Lamiaceae – mint family
Essential oils
Apiaceae – carrot family
Essential Oils
Significance:
• scent of flowers
– insect attraction, pollination
• strong, unpleasant smell
– repellent (herbivores, pests, parasites)
• herbs, spices, aromatherapy
Types of oil secretion I.
oil cells
(calamus rhizome)
Types of oil secretion II.
lysigenous oil cavities (e.g. lemon skin)
Types of oil secretion III.
schizogenous oil cavities
(e.g. fennel fruit)
glandular hairs
(e.g. mint family)
Resins:
Insoluble in water; soluble in alcohol, ether, essential oils, fatty oils;
→ soften
cross section of pine (Pinus
nigra) needle
cross section of pine
(Pinus) branch
- resin acids
- synthesized in the cytoplasm of epithelial cells
- stored outside the cells, in resin ducts (rd)
heat
Significance of resins
• protect against infections:
plant injury → resins flow out → protective layer
• protect against frost and drought:
bud scales (e.g. horse chestnut, poplar)
Bal(sa)ms:
Resins solved in essential oil.
Similar function – like resins
(e.g. Canada balsam - Abies balsamea
Tolu balsam - Myroxylon balsamum)
Crystal Inclusions :
Ca(COO)2 and CaCO3 crystals
I. Calcium oxalate – Ca(COO)2 crystals:
• insoluble in water; dissolve in hydrochloric acid (HCl) – no
bubble formation
• dissolve in sulphuric acid  calcium sulphate + oxalic acid
