Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb084630
• Gene Symbol: ZmHAK1 umc2250
• Gene Name: potassium high-affinity transporter1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmHAK5 and ZmHAK1 function in K+ uptake and distribution in maize under low K+ conditions.
• Overexpression of ZmHAK1 in maize significantly affected K+ distribution in shoots, leading to chlorosis in older leaves.
• ZmHAK5 and ZmHAK1 play distinct roles in K+ homeostasis in maize, functioning in K+ uptake and K+ distribution, respectively.
• In situ hybridization showed that ZmHAK5 was mainly expressed in roots, especially in the epidermis, cortex, and vascular bundle.
• ZmHAK1 encode a potassium high-affinity transporter.
