The vacuole is a plant’s major phosphate (Pi) pool. Cellular Pi homeostasis highly depends on shuttling Pi between vacuoles and the cytosol. Glycerol 3-phosphate transporter types have now been identified as tonoplast-localized vacuolar Pi efflux transporters, integrating vacuolar Pi transport systems in plants.
