HKT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD4BV1G201570 (HKT1) on durum wheat chromosome 4B encodes a transmembrane cation transporter with sodium, potassium and symporter activities. The gene is associated with salinity response, osmotic response, potassium ion homeostasis and transport, sodium ion membrane transport and regulation of sodium transporter activity. It localises to the plasmalemma, Golgi membrane, ER membrane and mitochondria. HKT1 is associated with salt stress tolerance, sodium exclusion and influx, potassium retention, seed germination under salt stress, seedling vigour, tiller number, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content and reproductive growth. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis and distribution, potassium nutrition and uptake, and floral sodium content.
