CSA_2G006170 — Cucumis sativus

Summary

CSA_2G006170 in cucumber (Cucumis sativus) on chromosome 2 encodes a nitrate transporter belonging to the PTR2 symporter family, also known as the POT family and part of the major facilitator superfamily (MFS). As a transmembrane transporter, it is associated with membrane localisation and has been linked to biological processes including oligopeptide transport, nitrate import, and membrane transport. The gene is associated with several agronomically relevant traits, including nitrate transport and uptake, as well as root architecture traits such as root number, lateral root number, and root length.
