HKT1 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUA09G45930S (BjHKT1) on chromosome A09 of Indian mustard encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activity, belonging to the TrkH/K-transport family. This gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, homeostasis, and osmotic and salinity responses. It localizes to the plasmalemma, Golgi and ER membranes, and mitochondria. BjHKT1 is linked to salt tolerance, sodium accumulation and exclusion, potassium retention, seed germination under salt stress, seed production, lateral root development, and photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to sodium transport, recirculation, and homeostasis, as well as potassium uptake, ion homeostasis, and NaCl tolerance.
