This book focuses on amino acid transporters in plants and explains their significance in plant growth, development, stress response, and crop productivity. It brings together detailed information on transporter families and their roles without overwhelming readers with technical jargon.


The chapters start with an introduction to amino acid transporters and their presence across crop species. It then explores major transporter superfamilies, including ATF/AAAP, which covers amino acid permeases, lysine and histidine transporters, proline transporters, auxin transporters, and γ-aminobutyric acid transporters. The APC superfamily is discussed next, highlighting cationic amino acid transporters, amino acid/choline transporters, and polyamine symporters. The book also explains UMAMIT transporters that enable bidirectional amino acid movement and vacuolar transporters such as AVT1, AVT3, and AVT6. Finally, it examines the functional roles of these transporters in plant growth, stress tolerance, and strategies for improving crop yield.
