Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb130310
• Gene Symbol: ZmHKT1 nc1
• Gene Name: Na+ content1
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmHKT1 was an important contributor to the phenotypic variations of seedling root traits in maize, these significant variants could use to develop functional markers to improve root traits.
• We found that the maize salt tolerance gene ZmHKT1 may be involved in root development.
• The gene displayed high level of nucleotide diversity, especially in non-genic regions. A total of 19 variations in untranslated region of ZmHKT1 were found to be associated with six seedling traits.
• The genomic sequences of a salt tolerance gene ZmHKT1 was resequenced in 349 maize inbred lines, and the association between nucleotide polymorphisms and seedling root traits was detected.
• In maize, ZmHKT1 has been associated with salt tolerance, but no studies have shown it to be associated with root development.
• ZmHKT1 is required for Na+ homeostasis and salt tolerance in maize.
