The products of plants provide the food we eat, the air we breath and it is recognised that they play an integral role in defining and protecting the environment. Thus it is essential to understand how plant work to allow their use in novel applications and to adapt to changing environments. Many aspects of plant metabolism are unique to plants and thus we cannot guess or estimate importance from studies in animals or fungi. Approximately 4,000 proteins are specific to plants, or contain domains that are unique to plants. This investigation proposes to elucidate the function of some of these novel proteins, transporters, that play a critical role in transport processes in cells.

植物产品提供了我们吃的食物和呼吸的空气，人们认识到它们在定义和保护环境方面发挥着不可或缺的作用。因此，有必要了解工厂如何工作，以允许其在新的应用中使用并适应不断变化的环境。植物代谢的许多方面都是植物所独有的，因此我们无法通过动物或真菌的研究来猜测或估计其重要性。大约 4,000 种蛋白质是植物特有的，或者包含植物特有的结构域。这项研究旨在阐明一些新型蛋白质（转运蛋白）的功能，它们在细胞转运过程中发挥着关键作用。
