HKT1 — Triticum aestivum
Summary
TRAESCS4B02G376000, the bread wheat gene TaHKT1 on chromosome 4B, encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activities, belonging to the TrkH/K-transport family. The gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, regulation of sodium transporter activity, potassium ion homeostasis, and osmotic and salinity responses. It has been linked to traits including sodium concentration, drought tolerance, stand establishment, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, and salt tolerance. Localisation evidence connects the product to the plasmalemma, Golgi membrane, ER membrane, and mitochondria. Related genes in other species are linked to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis, and ion distribution, as well as shoot sodium accumulation and reproductive development.
