Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Eight OsHKT1;1 variants were identified in salt-tolerant Pokkali rice in addition to full-length cDNA.
- Observation Full-length OsHKT1;1 mRNA accumulation is minor relative to V1, V2, V4 and V7 mRNAs.
- Observation V1 and V2 transcripts are predominant in shoots.
- Observation V4 and V7 transcripts are predominant in shoots.
- Observation Only V1 and V7 transcripts are predominant in roots.
- Observation Oocytes expressing Pokkali full-length OsHKT1;1 exhibit inward-rectified currents in 96 mM sodium.
- Observation Six of eight OsHKT1;1 variants elicit currents in sodium or potassium bath solution.
- Observation OsHKT1;1-V6 exhibits inward rectification similar to the full-length protein.
- Mechanism The results suggest possible novel mechanisms regulating OsHKT1;1 transport activity.
- Mechanism OsHKT1;1 variants may have distinct physiological roles independently or combined with full-length OsHKT1;1.
