The endomembrane system comprises various functional membranous compartments that together carry out the traffic of proteins, lipids and between the compartments next to that of components to and from the outside of the cell. The plant Arabidopsis thaliana allows to study the functioning of this system in plant organisms through the analysis of mutants using microcopy and molecular biology tools. The author, Loretto Ripetti, is a student of Molecular Biotechnology Engineering in the Plant Molecular Biology laboratory, of the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Chile
