WR3 — Lactuca sativa
Summary
LsWR3 (WR3, NRT3.1, NRT3.2, NAR2) on chromosome 4 of garden lettuce (Lactuca sativa) encodes a protein with a Transptr_NO3_Nar2 domain and is associated with nitrate transmembrane transporter activity. The gene is associated with nitrate transmembrane transport, nitrate assimilation, cellular response to nitrate, cell wall organization, and response to wounding. Its product localizes to the membrane and plasmalemma. LsWR3 is associated with nitrogen sensitivity, nitrate sensitivity, biomass yield, seed yield, root development, root hair length, flowering time, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, and cadmium concentration. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to high-affinity nitrate uptake and nitrate accumulation, and to disease resistance.
