HKT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD2BV1G211870 (TtHKT1) on chromosome 2B of durum wheat encodes a cation transporter with sodium and potassium transporter activities, belonging to the TrkH/K-transport family. This gene is associated with salinity response, osmotic response, potassium ion homeostasis, and sodium and potassium ion membrane transport. It localises to the plasma membrane, Golgi membrane, ER membrane, and mitochondria. TtHKT1 is associated with seedling vigour, tiller number, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, and salt tolerance traits including sodium exclusion, potassium retention, and seed germination under salt stress. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to sodium homeostasis, salt tolerance, and shoot sodium accumulation, as well as salt stress, development, and ion homeostasis.
