BADH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris
Summary
BVRB_2G037830 (symbol BADH) on sugar beet chromosome 2 encodes a protein with aldehyde dehydrogenase domains and betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase activity, along with NAD⁺-dependent activities toward 4-trimethylammoniobutyraldehyde, gamma-guanidinobutyraldehyde, aminobutyraldehyde and betaine aldehyde, and binds Na⁺ and K⁺ ions. The gene is associated with glycine betaine and betaine biosynthesis, cellular detoxification of aldehydes, and responses to anoxia, salt and salinity. It is linked to chlorophyll and flavonoid content, as well as salt tolerance. The encoded protein localises to the cytosol and peroxisome. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to betaine aldehyde resistance and aldehyde dehydrogenase activity.
