Nitrogen is an essential macronutrient needed in high amounts. Plants have evolved efficient and selective transport systems for nitrogen uptake and transport within the plant to sustain development, growth, and finally reproduction. This review summarizes current knowledge on membrane proteins involved in transport of amino acids and peptides. A special emphasis was put on their function in planta. We focus on uptake of the organic nitrogen by the root, source-sink partitioning, and import into floral tissues and seeds.展开更多

There are many amino acid sensing receptors and transporters in the gut. Amino acids sensing by these receptors and transporters can stimulate the intestinal endocrine cells to release a variety of gut hormones. These hormones trigger a series of physiological effects via the nerve system. This review summarized the recent advance on the amino acid sensing receptors and transporters in the gastrointestinal tract, the gut hormones released from the intestinal endocrine cells and the hormones-induced signal transduction between the gut and brain. A better understanding of these processes may help to gain further insight into the specific role of amino acids in digestion and provide guidelines in developing strategy for the better use of amino acids in the diet.展开更多
