Peroxisomes, known as microbodies, are a class of morphologically similar subcellular organelles commonly found in most eukaryotic cells. They are 0.2~1.8 ㎛ in diameter and are bound by a single membrane. The matrix is usually finely granular, but occasionally crystalline or fibrillary inclusions are observed. They characteristically contain hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) generating oxidases and contain the enzyme catalase, thus confining the metabolism of the poisonous H2O2 within these organelles. Therefore, the eukaryotic organelles are greatly dynamic both in morphology and metabolism. Plant peroxisomes, in particular, are associated with numerous metabolic processes, including β-oxidation, the glyoxylate cycle and photorespiration. Furthermore, plant peroxisomes are involved in development, along with responses to stresses such as the synthesis of important phytohormones of auxins, salicylic acid and jasmonic acids. In the past few decades substantial progress has been made in the study of peroxisome biogenesis in eukaryotic organisms, mainly in animals and yeasts. Advancement of sophisticated techniques in molecular biology and widening of the range of genomic applications have led to the identification of most peroxisomal genes and proteins (peroxins, PEXs). Furthermore, recent applications of proteome study have produced fundamental information on biogenesis in plant peroxisomes, together with improving our understanding of peroxisomal protein targeting, regulation, and degradation. Nonetheless, despite this progress in peroxisome development, much remains to be explained about how peroxisomes originate from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), then assemble and divide. Peroxisomes perform dynamic roles in many phases of plant development, and in this review, we focus on the latest progress in furthering our understanding of plant peroxisome functions, biogenesis, and dynamics.
