Gene Details:

  • Gene ID:
  • Gene Symbol: MdNRT2.4
  • Gene Name: Malus domestica NO3- transporter
  • Genome: Golden ASM211411v1
  • Species: Malus domestica

Functional Descriptions:

  • We found that variation in Malus domestica NO3- transporter (MdNRT2.4) expression contributes to nitrate uptake divergence between two apple rootstocks.
  • Overexpression of MdNRT2.4 in apple seedlings significantly improved tolerance to low nitrogen via increasing net NO3- influx at the root surface.
  • Inhibiting the root plasma membrane H+-ATPase activity abolished NO3- uptake and led to NO3- release, suggesting that MdNRT2.4 encodes an H+-coupled nitrate transporter.
  • Nitrate transporter MdNRT2.4 interacts with rhizosphere bacteria to enhance nitrate uptake in apple rootstocks
  • The nitrogen concentration of MdNRT2.4-overexpressing apple seedlings in unsterilized nitrogen-poor soil was higher than that in sterilized nitrogen-poor soil.
