HKT1 — Cicer arietinum
Summary
LOC101509481 (CaHKT1) on chickpea chromosome 8 encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activities, belonging to the TrkH_K-transport and Cat_transpt domain families. The gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, homeostasis, and the ascorbate glutathione cycle, and its product localises to the plasmalemma, ER membrane, Golgi membrane and mitochondria. CaHKT1 is associated with salinity response, osmotic response, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, sodium ion 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 and homeostasis, potassium uptake, ion homeostasis, NaCl tolerance, and shoot sodium accumulation.
