ACH1 — Oryza sativa Japonica
Summary
Os01g0547600 (ACH1/NRT2.4) encodes a nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter belonging to the MFS superfamily. In rice, this gene is associated with nitrate transport from roots to shoots, nitrogen homeostasis, nitrate assimilation, and cellular response to nitrate. It has been linked to yield, growth, root development, and aerenchyma formation, as well as to manganese, carotenoid, glutathione, and phenylpropanoid metabolism, auxin polar transport, and lignin biosynthesis. The transporter localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and nucleus. Associations with grain yield, plant height, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, root architecture traits, anthesis time, and salt tolerance have been noted. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to nitrate uptake, nitrogen remobilization, seed yield, disease resistance, and root architecture.
