Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Csa_1G303700
• Gene Symbol: CsAKT1
• Gene Name: Potassium channel
• Genome: Cucumis sativus ASM407v2
• Species: Cucumis sativus

Functional Descriptions:

• CsAKT1 is a key gene for the CeO2 nanoparticle’s improved cucumber salt tolerance: a validation from CRISPR-Cas9 lines.
• The CsAKT1 depletion experiment (CRISPR-Cas9 lines) confirmed that under salinity stress, CsAKT1 plays an important role in the potassium uptake in cucumber plants treated with PNC.
• CRISPR-Cas9 lines further confirmed that CsAKT1 is a key gene involved in the PNC-improved cucumber salt tolerance.
• CsAKT1 increased the leaf K+ content and thus helped to maintain the K+/Na+ ratio in nanoceria treated plants than control under salinity but also suggests that CRISPR-Cas9 is an efficient approach to study key genes involved in the nanomaterial-improved plant salt tolerance.
