Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Lj2g3v1349210.1
• Gene Symbol: LjNPF2.9
• Gene Name: nitrate/peptide transporter 2
• Genome: genomic assembly build 3.0(http://www.kazusa.or.jp/lotus/)
• Species: Lotus japonicus

Functional Descriptions:

• Disruption of the Lotus japonicus transporter LjNPF2.9 increases shoot biomass and nitrate content without affecting symbiotic performances.
• Report the functional characterization of the Lotus japonicus gene LjNPF2.9, which is expressed mainly in the root vascular structures, a key localization for the control of nitrate allocation throughout the plant body.
• The functional characterization of the LjNPF2.9 gene encoding for a protein that show nitrate transport capacity in Xenopus laevis and it is involved in the control of nitrate distribution in Lotus plants playing a role in the downward transport toward root tissue.
• This study shows that LjNPF2.9 plays a crucial role in the downward transport of nitrate to roots, occurring likely through a xylem-to-phloem loading-mediated activity.
