HKT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD2AV1G250140 (symbol HKT1, also known as TtHKT1 or TtSKC1) on durum wheat chromosome 2A encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium, potassium and symporter activities. The gene is associated with sodium and potassium ion membrane transport, potassium ion homeostasis, osmotic response and salinity response. It localises to the plasma membrane, Golgi membrane, ER membrane and mitochondria. HKT1 is associated with seedling vigour, tiller number, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, salt tolerance, sodium exclusion and potassium retention. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sodium homeostasis, shoot sodium accumulation, leaf sodium sensitivity, potassium nutrition and fertility, and to salt stress, shoot sodium accumulation and reproductive development.
