HKT1 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101490243 (CaHKT1) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a protein with transmembrane cation transporter activity, sodium transporter activity, and potassium transporter activity, belonging to the TrkH/K-transport and cation transporter families. The gene is associated with regulation of sodium transporter activity, sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, the ascorbate glutathione cycle, metal ion transport, potassium ion homeostasis, potassium ion transport, homeostasis, osmotic response, and salinity response. CaHKT1 localises to the plasmalemma, Golgi membrane, ER membrane, and mitochondria. It has been linked to drought tolerance, salt tolerance, sodium accumulation and exclusion, potassium retention, transpiration rate, photosynthetic rate, stomatal resistance, chlorophyll content, seed production, seed germination under salt stress, and lateral root development. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to sodium transport, recirculation, homeostasis, potassium uptake, ion homeostasis, and fertility.
