ACH1 — Arabidopsis thaliana
Summary
AT1G08090 (symbols ACH1, NRT2.1, LIN1) encodes a nitrate transmembrane transporter belonging to the major facilitator superfamily (MFS) and the NO3_transporter family, with nitrate transmembrane transporter activity. In Arabidopsis thaliana, this gene is associated with nitrate uptake, high-affinity nitrate transport, and nitrate import, as well as disease resistance, particularly to Plectosphaerella cucumerina. It is linked to lateral root initiation, root branching, root hair density and length, root elongation, and root system architecture. Associations also include cadmium concentration and uptake, flowering time, seed dormancy, stomatal opening, callus induction, and response to pH and nitrate starvation. The protein localises to the plasma membrane and membrane. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to seedling vigor, biomass yield, seed yield, plant height, drought tolerance, and nitrogen content.
