NHX1 — Capsicum annuum

Summary

T459_22293 (CaNHX1) on pepper chromosome 8 encodes a sodium/hydrogen exchanger belonging to the CPA1 family, with lithium:proton and potassium:proton antiporter activities. It is associated with vacuolar membrane transport, sodium and potassium ion homeostasis, cell pH regulation, and responses to superoxide and abscisic acid. The gene is linked to yield, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, plant height, root development, and disease tolerance. It has been connected to sodium uptake, iron concentration, phosphorus uptake, and auxin content. Related genes in other species are linked to vacuolar pH homeostasis, potassium accumulation, and heat and cold tolerance.
