TY - JOUR AU - Zamani Babgohari, Mahbobeh AU - Ebrahimie, Esmaeil AU - Niazi, Ali PY - 2014 DA - 2014/09/15 TI - In silico analysis of high affinity potassium transporter (HKT) isoforms in different plants JO - Aquatic Biosystems SP - 9 VL - 10 IS - 1 AB - High affinity potassium transporters (HKTs) are located in the plasma membrane of the vessels and have significant influence on salt tolerance in some plants. They exclude Na+ from the parenchyma cells to reduce Na+ concentration. Despite many studies, the underlying regulatory mechanisms and the exact functions of HKTs within different genomic backgrounds are relatively unknown. In this study, various bioinformatics techniques, including promoter analysis, identification of HKT-surrounding genes, and construction of gene networks, were applied to investigate the HKT regulatory mechanism.
