KC1 — Asparagus officinalis

Summary

AoKC1 (KC1) on asparagus chromosome 6 encodes a protein with outward rectifier potassium channel activity, potassium transporter activity, and ion channel activity, belonging to the KAT/AKT and KHA domain families. The gene is associated with regulation of membrane potential, monoatomic ion homeostasis, regulation of K+ transport, upregulation of stomatal opening, downregulation of cellular defense response, response to basic pH, hypotonic salinity response, and monoatomic ion transport. It is linked to leaf necrosis tolerance, alkali soil sensitivity, magnesium sensitivity, potassium sensitivity, water stress response trait, nitrogen sensitivity, cadmium concentration, inflorescence development trait, wheat powdery mildew disease response, iron concentration, aluminum response trait, leaf chlorosis, sucrose content, leaf number, gibberellic acid sensitivity, yield trait, insect damage response trait, cotyledon morphology trait, vegetative growth time, root hair length, lateral root length, transpiration rate, light intensity response, days to flowering trait, root mass density, water use efficiency, ethylene sensitivity, jasmonic acid content, plant stress response trait, and photosynthetic rate. Additional associations include potassium translocation, programmed cell death, osmotic pressure regulation, reactive oxygen species response, mineral nutrient partitioning, potassium distribution, reduced shoot K+ content and reduced K+ uptake, potassium secretion into xylem, sensitive to toxic cations and K+ depletion sensitive, stomatal opening, herbivory defense response, reactive oxygen species production, leaf necrosis resistance,
