ACH1 — Oryza sativa Japonica
Summary
OS01G0704100 (ACH1, also known as NRT2.3) on rice chromosome 1 encodes a nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter belonging to the MFS superfamily. The 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, grain yield, plant height, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, root length, lateral root development, and adventitious root development. Associations also include aerenchyma formation, auxin polar transport, carotenoid metabolism, glutathione metabolism, phenylpropanoid anabolism, and the MEP pathway. The transporter localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and cytoplasm. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to nitrate uptake, seed yield, biomass accumulation, root architecture, and disease resistance.
