CKR1 — Medicago truncatula

Summary

MTR_0041S0030 (CKR1, also known as MtEIN2) on barrel medic scaffold0041 encodes a protein with EIN2 and NRAMP family domains, annotated with C2H4 receptor activity, histidine kinase activity, dual-specificity protein kinase activity, iron channel activity, manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity, ethene binding, and histone, chromatin, mRNA, ribosome, and identical protein binding. It is associated with ethene metabolism and signaling, hormone metabolism, cytokinin metabolism, jasmonic acid/ethene-dependent systemic resistance, detection of ethene stimulus, iron and manganese ion transport and homeostasis, nitrate import, H2O2 biosynthesis, regulation of stem cell renewal, post-embryonic root development, seedling development, planar polarity, and responses to carbon starvation, fructose, and hormones. Localised to the ER membrane, ER, plasmalemma, nucleus, cytosol, and extracellular region, it is linked to traits including seed yield, photosynthetic rate, nitrate content and uptake, iron and arsenic concentration, anthocyanin content, root development, lateral root length, stem elongation, leaf morphology, stomatal resistance, trichome morphology, temperature stress, osmotic response, herbicide sensitivity, aphid and insect damage response, and fruit ripening. Related genes in other species link the family to ethylene signal transduction, iron acquisition, nitrogen metabolism, salinity tolerance, aluminum tolerance, fruit ripening, and disease resistance.
