ACH1 — Oryza sativa Japonica
Summary
Os02g0112600 (ACH1, also known as NRT2.2) encodes a nitrate transporter belonging to the MFS superfamily, with both nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity. In rice, this gene is associated with nitrate transport from roots to shoots, nitrogen homeostasis, nitrate assimilation, and aerenchyma formation. It has been linked to yield, growth, root development, and responses to manganese and cadmium. The encoded protein localizes to the plasma membrane, tonoplast, and cytoplasm. Associations also include grain yield, plant height, chlorophyll content, photosynthetic rate, anthesis time, and salt tolerance. Related genes in other species link the family to acyl-CoA thioesterase activity, nitrate uptake, disease resistance, drought response, and seed yield.
