HKT1 — Brassica juncea
Summary
BJUB08G19560S (BjHKT1) on chromosome B08 of Indian mustard encodes a cation transporter with TrkH_K-transport and Cat_transpt domains, possessing sodium, potassium and transmembrane cation transporter activities. This gene is associated with salinity response, osmotic response, potassium ion homeostasis, and regulation of sodium transporter activity, and localises to the plasmalemma, Golgi membrane, ER membrane and mitochondria. BjHKT1 has been connected to salt tolerance, sodium ion accumulation and homeostasis, sodium exclusion, potassium retention, leaf sodium accumulation, seed production, seed germination under salt stress, lateral root development, and photosynthetic rate. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sodium transport, recirculation, homeostasis, potassium uptake, ion homeostasis, fertility, and NaCl tolerance.
