Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Mtr.27727.1
- Gene Symbol: NPF7.6
- Gene Name:
- Genome: JCVI Mt 4.0
- Species: Medicago truncatula
Functional Descriptions:
- Our findings indicate that NPF7.6 has been co-opted into a regulatory role in nodulation, functioning in nitrate uptake through NTCs to fine-tune nodule symbiosis in response to fluctuating environmental nitrate status.
- Identify a member of the Medicago truncatula nitrate peptide family (NPF), NPF7.6, which is expressed specifically in the nodule vasculature.
- NPF7.6 localizes to the plasma membrane of nodule transfer cells (NTCs), where it functions as a high-affinity nitrate transporter.
- NPF7.6 nodules showed severely compromised nitrate responsiveness caused by an attenuated ability to transport nitrate.
