NDH1 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoNDH1 (BOLC102_C05P002730.1) on cabbage chromosome 5 encodes a protein with malate dehydrogenase domains and NAD(P)-binding domains. The gene is associated with malate, oxaloacetate, NAD, and sulfur compound metabolism, as well as the TCA cycle. It is linked to responses to cold, freezing, desiccation, and nutrient starvation (potassium, nitrogen, phosphate), and to brassinosteroid-mediated signalling. Associations with traits include respiration rate, leaf length and growth, root morphology, pistil morphology, leaf senescence, plant growth and development, and stress responses including low temperature and salt tolerance. The gene is also connected to cold tolerance, leaf longevity, bacterial and nematode resistance, and cell proliferation. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to leaf size.
