MDH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BVRB_5G114690 (BvMDH) encodes a malate dehydrogenase, an enzyme with malate dehydrogenase activity that is also associated with AAA chloroplast protein-transporting ATPase, copper binding, ATP hydrolase activity, and protein binding. The gene is linked to the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle, photorespiration regulation, fatty acid beta-oxidation regulation, and malate and carboxylic acid metabolism. It has been connected to meristem growth and structural organization, phyllome, root cap, and chloroplast development, as well as male and female gamete generation. Associations include respiration and photosynthetic rates, responses to high temperature, oxidative stress, zinc, and herbicide sensitivity, iron concentration, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. The gene is localized to the microbody, plastid stroma, chloroplast inner membrane, and mitochondrial lumen.
