HKT1 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUA09G45950S (BjHKT1) on chromosome A09 of Indian mustard encodes a cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activity, belonging to the TrkH/K-transport family. The gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, homeostasis, and salinity and osmotic responses. It localises to the plasmalemma, Golgi, ER and mitochondria. BjHKT1 is associated with salt tolerance, sodium accumulation and exclusion, potassium retention, seed germination under salt stress, lateral root development, photosynthetic rate and seed production. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sodium transport, recirculation and homeostasis, potassium uptake, ion distribution, and fertility.
