Encodes NRT1.1 (CHL1), a dual-affinity nitrate transporter. The protein is expressed in guard cells and function in stomatal opening. Mutants have less transpiration and are more tolerant to drought. Expressed in lateral roots. Involved in nitrate signaling which enables the plant root system to detect and exploit nitrate-rich soil patches. Comparing to the wild type, the mutant displays a strongly decreased lateral root proliferation phenotype in nitrate rich patches on growth medium.

Encodes a 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase, which is involved in melavonate biosynthesis and performs the first committed step in isoprenoid biosynthesis. Expression is activated in dark in leaf tissue but not controlled by light in the root (confine
Encodes chalcone synthase (CHS), a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of flavonoids. Required for the accumulation of purple anthocyanins in leaves and stems. Also involved in the regulation of auxin transport and the modulation of root gravitropism.
Encodes one of two Arabidopsis RAPTOR/KOG1 homologs. RAPTOR proteins are binding partners of the target of rapamycin kinase that is present in all eukaryotes and play a central role in the stimulation of cell growth and metabolism in response to nutrients. Mutants show embryo lethal phenotype which occurs at pre-globular stage. May interact with TOR kinase in a rapamycin like signaling pathway. Interacts with TOR and S6K1 in vivo. Overexpression of RAPTOR1 rendered the S6K1 osmotic stress insensitive.
