ACH1 — Pisum sativum

Summary

PsACH1 (PSAT7G149120) on chromosome 7LG7 encodes a protein with nitrate and nitrite transmembrane transporter activity, belonging to the NO3_transporter and MFS_trans_sf families. The gene is associated with nitrate transport, assimilation, import, and cellular response to nitrate, as well as nitrite transport, nitrogen fixation, nodulation, NO storage, and response to wounding. The product localizes to the membrane, plasmalemma, tonoplast, and transporter complex. Associations include nitrate uptake, nitrogen uptake, root elongation, lateral root initiation and development, root system architecture, root hair development, flowering time, growth promotion, cadmium uptake and accumulation, pathogen resistance, copper toxicity response, and fatty acid and amino acid metabolism. Related genes in other species are linked to nitrate high-affinity transport, root and shoot development, seed yield, biomass accumulation, drought response, and disease resistance.
