Fig. 8: Model of the plant response to vacuolar damage upon cell wall damage through ATG8ylation of the tonoplast.
From: ATG8ylation of vacuolar membrane protects plants against cell wall damage
Tonoplast ATG8ylation is a vacuolar quality control mechanism. After cell wall damage (1), the vacuole gets damaged (2). This induces the assembly of the V-ATPase (3) and subsequent tonoplast ATG8ylation (4). This facilitates tonoplast repair (5). Figure created with BioRender.com.
