Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS6B02G044300
• Gene Symbol: TaNRT2.1-6B
• Gene Name: NITRATE TRANSPORTER 2
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• The data provide the TaNRT2.1-6B gene and the two associated SNP markers as promising powerful tools for breeding wheat cultivars with high N uptake ability and NUE.
• TaNRT2.1-6B is a dual-affinity nitrate transporter contributing to nitrogen uptake in bread wheat under both nitrogen deficiency and sufficiency.
• TaNRT2.1-6B is located to the plasma membrane and acts as a dual-affinity nitrate transporter.
• TaNRT2.1-6B complements the npf6.3 mutation and improves Arabidopsis root growth.
• TaNRT2. 1-6B overexpression promotes shoot biomass, GY and N uptake in wheat.
