Background  AtNHX1, the most abundant vacuolar Na + /H +  antiporter in  Arabidopsis thaliana , mediates the transport of Na +  and K +  into the vacuole, influencing plant development and contributing to salt tolerance. In this report, microarray expression profiles of wild type plants, a T-DNA insertion knockout mutant of  AtNHX1  ( nhx1 ), and a 'rescued' line (NHX1:: nhx1 ) were exposed to both short (12 h and 48 h) and long (one and two weeks) durations of a non-lethal salt stress to identify key gene transcripts associated with the salt response that are influenced by  AtNHX1 .    Results  147 transcripts showed both salt responsiveness and a significant influence of AtNHX1. Fifty-seven of these genes showed an influence of the antiporter across all salt treatments, while the remaining genes were influenced as a result of a particular duration of salt stress. Most (69%) of the genes were up-regulated in the absence of AtNHX1, with the exception of transcripts encoding proteins involved with metabolic and energy processes that were mostly down-regulated.    Conclusion  While part of the  AtNHX1 -influenced transcripts were unclassified, other transcripts with known or putative roles showed the importance of  AtNHX1  to key cellular processes that were not necessarily limited to the salt stress response; namely calcium signaling, sulfur metabolism, cell structure and cell growth, as well as vesicular trafficking and protein processing. Only a small number of other salt-responsive membrane transporter transcripts appeared significantly influenced by  AtNHX1 .
