  "title": "Amino acid transporters",
  "abstract": "This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a amino acid transporter. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the amino acid transporter, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the amino acid transporter in a transformed host cell.",
  "claims": [
    "1. An isolated nucleic acid fragment comprising a member selected from the group consisting of: (a) an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding the amino acid sequence set forth in a member selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 8 and SEQ ID NO: 10; and (b) an isolated nucleic acid fragment that is complementary to (a).",
    "2. The isolated nucleic acid fragment of claim 1 wherein nucleic acid fragment is a functional RNA.",
    "3. The isolated nucleic acid fragment of claim 1 wherein the nucleotide sequence of the fragment comprises the sequence set forth in a member selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO:1, SEQ ID NO:3, SEQ ID NO:5, SEQ ID NO:7 and SEQ ID NO:9.",
    "4. A chimeric gene comprising the nucleic acid fragment of claim 1 operably linked to at least one regulatory sequence not associated in nature with the nucleic acid fragment of claim 1.",
    "5. A plant host cell transformed with the chimeric gene of claim 4.",
    "6. A microbial host cell transformed with the chimeric gene of claim 4."
