GTR3 — Camelina sativa

Summary

CsGTR3 (CSA14G024250) on Camelina sativa chromosome 14 encodes a member of the POT (peptide transporter) family within the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), with annotated nitrate transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with phloem nitrate loading and phloem transport, and its product localises to the plasma membrane. CsGTR3 is associated with nitrate transport and glucosinolate transport. Studies of related genes in other species link the NPF2.9/GTR3 family to nitrate content and nitrate uptake.
