ADH2 — Arabidopsis thaliana

Summary

AT5G43940 (ADH2, also known as AtGSNOR1) encodes an S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) activity, belonging to the alcohol dehydrogenase family. In Arabidopsis, this gene is associated with formaldehyde detoxification, disease resistance, wound and salicylic acid responses, and regulation of flowering time, seed production, germination, primary root growth, hypocotyl elongation, and axillary shoot development. It is linked to S-nitrosylation, nitric oxide metabolism, shade avoidance, auxin transport, and trichome branching. The protein localizes to the cytosol, nucleus, plastid, mitochondria, and plasma membrane. Associations also include iron sensitivity, photosynthetic rate, stomatal closure, thermotolerance, ammonium tolerance, cadmium tolerance, leaf senescence, root and shoot development traits, and soluble sugar and protein content.
