ANT1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.5HG0471320, symbol ANT1 (HvANT1), encodes a transmembrane transporter with aromatic amino acid, neutral amino acid, and L-amino acid transmembrane transporter activity, as well as amino acid permease activity, and belongs to the AA_transpt_TM family. In barley, ANT1 is associated with grain pericarp colour, melanin anabolism, anthocyanin anabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, flavonoid anabolism, amino acid membrane transport, RNA transport, pigmentation, and response to nematodes. It is localised to the vacuolar and ER membranes. The gene is linked to flavonoid content, anthocyanin content, grain yield, plant growth, and amino acid transport. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to auxin transport, chloroplast development, vascular development, tillering, salt tolerance, and nitrogen content.
