ACH1 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CsACH1 (CSA_1G097690) on cucumber chromosome 1 encodes a protein with nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity, belonging to the NO3_transporter and MFS transporter superfamilies. The gene is associated with nitrate transmembrane transport, nitrate import, nitrate assimilation, cellular response to nitrate, secondary metabolism, and response to wounding. Its product localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and transporter complex. CsACH1 is associated with root number, root length, root development, nitrogen transport, cadmium uptake, pathogen resistance, lateral root initiation, nitrogen uptake, cadmium accumulation, growth promotion, root elongation, nutrient acquisition, increased lateral root formation in high sucrose/low nitrogen, high-affinity nitrate transport, flowering time, root nitrate uptake, lateral root development, nitrate remobilization, root system architecture, plant growth promotion, plant growth, nitrate-responsive gene expression, nitrate response, copper toxicity response, root hydraulic conductivity, nitrogen starvation adaptation, plasma membrane aquaporin regulation, fatty acid metabolism, nitrate transport activity, root hair development, pathogen tolerance, and reactive oxygen species accumulation. Related genes in other species are linked to lateral root number, nitrate uptake, nitrate transport, impaired nitrate uptake, inorganic carbon uptake, acyl-CoA thioesterase activity, bicarbonate uptake, nitrate high-affinity transport, disease resistance, resistance to Plectosphaerella cucumerina, shoot development, nitrate acquisition, nitrogen deficiency response, anthocyanin accumulation, seed yield, drought response
