BADH — Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris

Summary

BvBADH (BVRB_7G178050) in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris) encodes a protein with aldehyde dehydrogenase domains and betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity, 4-trimethylammoniobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase activity, gamma-guanidinobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity, aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity, 3-aminopropanal dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity, aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity, Na+ ion binding, K ion binding, nucleotide binding, metal binding, and protein homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with glycine betaine anabolism, betaine anabolism, cellular detoxification of aldehyde, and responses to salt, salinity, thirst, and abscisic acid. It localizes to the cytoplasm, mitochondria, and plant-type cell wall. Associations include flavonoid content, photosynthetic rate, and chlorophyll content. Related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, salinity tolerance, glycine betaine synthesis, and seed development.
