HKT1 — Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Summary
TRITD4BV1G203120 (symbol HKT1, also known as TtHKT1 or TtSKC1) on durum wheat chromosome 4B 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 plasmalemma, Golgi membrane, ER membrane and mitochondria. Associations with agronomic traits include seedling vigour, tiller number, germination rate, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content and salt tolerance. The gene has been connected to sodium exclusion, potassium retention, sodium influx, leaf sodium accumulation, seed production and reproductive growth. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, sodium homeostasis, shoot sodium accumulation and potassium nutrition.
