HKT1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare
Summary
HORVU.MOREX.R3.2HG0192300 (HvHKT1) on barley chromosome 2H encodes a cation transporter with TrkH_K-transport and Cat_transpt domains, possessing sodium, potassium and transmembrane cation transporter activities. The gene is associated with salinity response, osmotic response, sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, and potassium ion homeostasis. It localises to the plasma membrane, Golgi membrane, ER membrane and mitochondria. HvHKT1 is linked to salt stress tolerance, sodium concentration, sodium exclusion and influx, potassium retention, plant height, photosynthetic rate, seed germination under salt stress, and seed production. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis and distribution, potassium nutrition, and fertility, while work in rice links the family to shoot sodium accumulation, development and reproductive growth.
