What is claimed is: 1. A method of increasing the level of carbon in a plant, said method comprising introducing into a plant cell an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having 90 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in
What is claimed is: 1. A method of increasing the level of carbon in a plant, said method comprising introducing into a plant cell an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having 90 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide has nitrate transporter activity, and growing said plant cell into a plant, wherein the plant expresses said nucleotide sequence and has an increased level of carbon as compared to the corresponding level in a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein said exogenous nucleic acid is operably linked to a regulatory region. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein said regulatory region is a promoter selected from the group consisting of YP0092, PT0676, PT0708, PT0613, PT0672, PT0678, PT0688, PT0837, the napin promoter, the Arcelin-5 promoter, the phaseolin gene promoter, the soybean trypsin inhibitor promoter, the ACP promoter, the stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene, the soybean α' subunit of β-conglycinin promoter, the oleosin promoter, the 15 kD zein promoter, the 16 kD zein promoter, the 19 kD zein promoter, the 22 kD zein promoter, the 27 kD zein promoter, the Osgt-1 promoter, the beta-amylase gene promoter, and the barley hordein gene promoter. 4. A method of producing a plant, said method comprising growing a plant comprising an exogenous nucleic acid comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having 90 percent or greater sequence identity to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:2, wherein said polypeptide has nitrate transporter activity, and wherein said plant expresses said nucleotide sequence and has an increased level of carbon as compared to the corresponding level in a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid. 5. A plant produced according to the method of any one of claims 1, 2, 3, or 4. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said plant produces seeds, and wherein said seeds comprise and express said exogenous nucleic acid and have an increased level of carbon as compared to seeds of a control plant that do not comprise said nucleic acid. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the vegetative tissue of said plant comprises and expresses said exogenous nucleic acid and has an increased level of carbon as compared to the vegetative tissue of a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid. 8. The method of claim 4, wherein said plant produces seeds, and wherein said seeds comprise and express said exogenous nucleic acid and have an increased level of carbon as compared to seeds of a control plant that do not comprise said nucleic acid. 9. The method of claim 4, wherein the vegetative tissue of said plant comprises and expresses said exogenous nucleic acid and has an increased level of carbon as compared to vegetative tissue of a control plant that does not comprise said nucleic acid. 10. The method of claim 4, wherein said exogenous nucleic acid is operably linked to a regulatory region. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein said regulatory region is a promoter selected from the group consisting of YP0092, PT0676, PT0708, PT0613, PT0672, PT0678, PT0688, PT0837, the napin promoter, the Arcelin-5 promoter, the phaseolin gene promoter, the soybean trypsin inhibitor promoter, the ACP promoter, the stearoyl-ACP desaturase gene, the soybean α' subunit of β-conglycinin promoter, the oleosin promoter, the 15 kD zein promoter, the 16 kD zein promoter, the 19 kD zein promoter, the 22 kD zein promoter, the 27 kD zein promoter, the Osgt-1 promoter, the beta-amylase gene promoter, and the barley hordein gene promoter.
