WR3 — Lactuca sativa

Summary

LsWR3 (WR3) on lettuce chromosome 5 encodes a protein of the Transptr_NO3_Nar2 family and is annotated 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 biomass yield, seed yield, root development, root hair length, flowering time, anthocyanin content, drought tolerance, disease tolerance, nitrogen sensitivity, cadmium concentration, and root oxidative activity. Related genes in other species are linked to high-affinity nitrate uptake and nitrate accumulation.
