ACH1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare
Summary
HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0543410, also known as ACH1, BCH2, LIN1, and NRT2, encodes a nitrate transporter belonging to the MFS superfamily with nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity. This barley gene on chromosome 6H is associated with nitrate transmembrane transport, nitrate assimilation, and the cellular response to nitrate. It is linked to grain yield, photosynthetic rate, root and shoot dry weight, and leaf weight. The gene is associated with nitrate uptake and influx, seed nitrate content, cadmium uptake and accumulation, pathogen resistance, lateral root initiation and development, root elongation, and root hair development. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to nitrate high-affinity transport, root development, and disease resistance, as well as nitrate transport from roots to shoots and yield.
