Gene Details:
- Gene ID: HORVU.MOREX.r2.6HG0510160
- Gene Symbol: HvNIP2;1
- Gene Name: Nodulin-26 like intrinsic protein
- Genome: MorexV3_pseudomolecules_assembly
- Species: Hordeum vulgare
Functional Descriptions:
- Boron Toxicity Tolerance in Barley through Reduced Expression of the Multifunctional Aquaporin HvNIP2;1;HvNIP2;1.
- The gene identified in this work encodes HvNIP2;1;HvNIP2;1, an aquaporin from the nodulin-26-like intrinsic protein (NIP) subfamily that was recently described as a silicon influx transporter in barley and rice (Oryza sativa).
- HvNIP2;1;HvNIP2;1 facilitates significant transport of B when expressed in Xenopus oocytes compared to controls and to another NIP (NOD26), and also in yeast plasma membranes that appear to have relatively high B permeability.
- Together with BotHvNIP2;1, the multifunctional aquaporin HvNIP2;1;HvNIP2;1 is an important determinant of B toxicity tolerance in barley.
