HKT1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare
Summary
HORVU.MOREX.R3.4HG0415690, designated HvHKT1 on barley chromosome 4H, encodes a member of the TrkH/K-transport family with sodium, potassium and transmembrane cation transporter activities. The gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, potassium ion homeostasis, osmotic response and salinity response. HvHKT1 has been linked to sodium concentration, plant height, photosynthetic rate, salt tolerance, sodium exclusion and retention, seed germination under salt stress, and reproductive growth. It localises to the plasma membrane, Golgi, ER and mitochondria. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis and distribution, potassium nutrition, and fertility.
