ACH1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsACH1 (PSAT4G155600) encodes a NO3_transporter family protein with nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity, localised to the plasma membrane, tonoplast and transporter complexes. The gene is associated with nitrate transport, assimilation, import and response, as well as nitrogen fixation, nodulation, NO storage and wound response. It is linked to nitrate uptake, lateral root initiation and development, root elongation, root system architecture, flowering time, growth promotion, cadmium uptake and accumulation, pathogen resistance, copper toxicity response, root hydraulic conductivity, and shoot-to-root ratio. Related genes in other species connect the family to nitrate high-affinity transport, root and shoot development, disease resistance, and nitrogen deficiency response, as well as seed yield, biomass accumulation, anthocyanin accumulation and drought response.
