Peroxisomes play diverse and important roles in plants. The functions of peroxisomes are dependent upon their steady state protein composition which in turn reflects the balance of formation and turnover of the organelle. Protein import and turnover of constituent peroxisomal proteins are controlled by the state of cell growth and environment. The evolutionary origin of the peroxisome and the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in peroxisome biogenesis are discussed, as informed by studies of the trafficking of peroxisome membrane proteins. The process of matrix protein import in plants and its similarities and differences with peroxisomes in other organisms is presented and discussed in the context of peroxin distribution across the green plants.
