Genome-Wide Identification and Expression Analysis of PkNRT Gene Family in Korean Pine (Pinus koraiensis).

ABSTRACT: The utilization of nitrogen (N) is crucial for the optimal growth and development of plants. As the dominant form of nitrogen in temperate soil, nitrate (NO₃^-) is absorbed from the soil and redistributed to other organs through NO₃^- transporters (NRTs). Therefore, exploration of the role of NRTs in response to various NO₃^- conditions is crucial for improving N utilization efficiency (NUE). Here, we present a comprehensive genome-wide analysis and characterization of the NRT gene family in Korean pine, an invaluable tree species cultivated extensively in northeastern China. A total of 76 PkNRTs were identified in Korean pine and further divided into three subfamilies (NRT1/NPF, NRT2, and NRT3) based on phylogenetic ana
