HKT1 — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA001800 (OiHKT1, also known as SKC1) on chromosome 1 of Indica rice encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activity, belonging to the TrkH_K-transport and Cat_transpt domain families. The gene is associated with salt stress, homeostasis, development, regulation of sodium transporter activity, sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, potassium ion homeostasis, potassium ion transport, hypersensitivity, metal ion transport, osmotic response, and salinity response. It has been linked to sodium content, photosynthetic rate, grain yield, and salt tolerance traits. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi membrane, ER membrane, mitochondria, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis and distribution, potassium nutrition, and shoot sodium accumulation.
