Amino acids are not only a nitrogen source that can be directly absorbed by plants, but also
the major transport form of organic nitrogen in plants. A large number of amino acid …

Membrane proteins are essential to move amino acids in or out of plant cells as well as
between organelles. While many putative amino acid transporters have been identified …

Amino acid transporters are the main mediators of nitrogen distribution throughout the plant
body, and are essential for sustaining growth and development. In this review, we …

Amino acids are essential components of plant metabolism, not only as constituents of
proteins, but also as precursors of important secondary metabolites and as carriers of …

The export of nutrients from source organs to parts of the body where they are required (eg
sink organs) is a fundamental biological process. Export of amino acids, one of the most …

Amino acid transporters are essential participants in the resource allocation processes that
support plant growth and development. Recent results have identified several new …

Plant growth, productivity, and seed yield depend on the efficient uptake, metabolism, and
allocation of nutrients. Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient needed in high amounts …

More than 50 distinct amino acid transporter genes have been identified in the genome of
Arabidopsis, indicating that transport of amino acids across membranes is a highly complex …

Recent studies have shown that there are more than 50 amino acid transporter genes in the
Arabidopsis genome. This abundance of amino acid transporters implies that they play a …

Amino acids represent the major form of reduced nitrogen that is transported in plants.
Amino acid transporters in plants often show tissue‐specific expression patterns and are …
