The MVB and autophagosome pathways in plant cells. (i) In MVB/PVC-mediated vacuolar pathway, proteins with vacuolar sorting signal are sorted into MVBs/PVCs and then deposited in the vacuole for degradation; (ii) In autophagic pathway, autophagosomes derive from ER and deliver cargoes into the vacuole for degradation and recycling. ATG9 vesicle is essential for ER-derived autophagosome formation; (iii) The possible crosstalk between the MVB and autophagosome pathways (as indicated by question mark) is also depicted by the dashed lines. MVB, multivesicular body; PVC, prevacuolar compartment; ER, endoplasmic reticulum; TGN, trans-Golgi network.
