title: Amino acid transporters in plants.
abstract: Amino acid transporters are essential participants in the resource allocation processes that support plant growth and development. Recent results have identified several new transporters that contribute to a wide array of physiological activities, and detailed molecular analysis has provided fundamental insights into the structure, function and regulation of these integral membrane proteins.
