Genome Mining of Plant NPFs Reveals Varying Conservation of Signature Motifs Associated With the Mechanism of Transport

Nitrogen is essential for all living species and may be taken up from the environment in different forms like nitrate or peptides. In plants, members of a transporter family named NPFs transport nitrate and peptides across biological membranes. NPFs are phylogenetically related to a family of peptid...
