NHX1 — Glycine max

Summary

GLYMA_10G158700V4 (GmNHX1) encodes a sodium/hydrogen exchanger belonging to the NaH_exchanger and CPA1 cation/H_exchanger families, with potassium:proton antiporter activity and sodium transporter activity. The protein is associated with vacuolar membrane transport, sodium import, potassium ion membrane transport, cell pH regulation, and stomatal opening. It has been linked to drought tolerance, salinity tolerance, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, plant height, and phosphorus uptake. Associations also include cell expansion, root growth, flower development, auxin homeostasis, and vacuolar pH regulation. Related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, potassium accumulation, heat and cold tolerance, seed germination, and biomass production.
