ADH2 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUB04G39280S (BjADH2) on Indian mustard chromosome B04 encodes a protein with ADH_3, ADH_Zn_CS, ADH-like_N, ADH-like_C, GroES-like_sf and NAD(P)-bd_dom_sf domains, and has S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) activity, S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, calcium ion binding, zinc binding and protein binding. The gene is associated with methanal metabolism and catabolism, S-nitrosylation, homeostasis, seed development, heat acclimation and programmed cell death. It localises to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm and nucleus. BjADH2 is linked to photosynthetic rate, water use efficiency, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, stomatal closure, fertility, pathogen resistance, shade avoidance, root hair development, ammonium toxicity tolerance, thermotolerance, germination, flowering time, silique size, seed production, and other phenotypes. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to formaldehyde detoxification, cadmium tolerance, iron toxicity tolerance, wounding and salicylic acid responses, and stem branching.
