NRT1.1 — Brassica napus

Summary

BnNRT1.1 (DARMORV10_A09P64090.1) on chromosome A09 of oilseed rape encodes a member of the PTR2 symporter family and the POT family, belonging to the major facilitator superfamily. The gene is associated with nitrate import and assimilation, as well as cell growth, root hair elongation, lateral root formation, leaf development and senescence, ethylene anabolism, proteolysis, and signal transduction. It is linked to nitrate transport and uptake, and to traits including root length, root hair length, phosphorus and potassium concentrations, soluble protein content, and protein content.
