ACH1 — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare
Summary
HORVU.MOREX.R3.6HG0543560 (HvACH1) on barley chromosome 6H encodes a nitrate transporter belonging to the MFS superfamily with nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with nitrate transport, import, assimilation, and cellular response to nitrate, as well as response to wounding. It localises to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and endomembrane system. HvACH1 is linked to nitrate influx, grain yield, photosynthetic rate, root and shoot dry weight, leaf weight, and root length. Associations include seed nitrate content, cadmium uptake and accumulation, pathogen resistance, lateral root development, root hair development, flowering time, and nitrogen uptake efficiency. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to nitrate acquisition, root architecture, biomass accumulation, disease resistance, and seed yield.
