By being at the interface of the exocytic and endocytic pathways, the plant trans‐Golgi network (TGN) is a multitasking and highly diversified organelle. Despite governing vital cellular processes, the TGN remains one of the most uncharacterized organelle of plant cells. In this review, we highlight recent studies that have contributed new insights and to the generation of markers needed to answer several important questions on the plant TGN. Several drugs specifically affecting proteins critical for the TGN functions have been extremely useful for the identification of mutants of the TGN in the pursuit to understand how the morphology and the function of this organelle are controlled. In addition to these chemical tools, we review emerging microscopy techniques that help visualize the TGN at an unpreceded resolution and appreciate the heterogeneity and dynamics of this organelle in plant cells.

植物跨高尔基网络的神秘生命：进步和更好地理解它的工具

通过位于胞吐和胞吞途径的界面，植物跨高尔基网络 (TGN) 是一个多任务和高度多样化的细胞器。尽管控制着重要的细胞过程，但 TGN 仍然是植物细胞中最没有特征的细胞器之一。在这篇综述中，我们重点介绍了最近的研究，这些研究为回答植物 TGN 的几个重要问题所需的标记的产生提供了新的见解。几种专门影响对 TGN 功能至关重要的蛋白质的药物对于鉴定 TGN 突变体非常有用，以了解如何控制这种细胞器的形态和功能。除了这些化学工具，
