Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: TaAMT2|3a
• Gene Name: AMT2-type ammonium transporter
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• TaAMT2|3a|TaAMT2|3a, a wheat AMT2-type ammonium transporter, facilitates the infection of stripe rust fungus on wheat.
• An AMT2-type ammonium transporter gene induced by Pst was identified and designated as TaAMT2|3a|TaAMT2|3a. Transient expression assays indicated that TaAMT2|3a|TaAMT2|3a was located to the cell and nuclear membranes.
• Function of TaAMT2|3a|TaAMT2|3a in wheat-Pst interaction was further analyzed by barley stripe mosaic virus (BSMV)-induced gene silencing.
• Histological observation showed that the hyphal length, the number of hyphal branches and haustorial mother cells decreased in the TaAMT2|3a|TaAMT2|3a knockdown plants, leading to the impeded growth of rust pathogens.
