ADH — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoADH (BOLC102_C06P056440.1) on cabbage chromosome 6 encodes a protein with ADH-like domains and zinc binding, and has S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] and aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activities. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, salt, sucrose, hydrogen peroxide, and estradiol, as well as cellular respiration, anaerobic respiration, methanal catabolism, and demethylation. It is linked to traits including drought tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, low temperature stress response, disease tolerance, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include waterlogging tolerance, submergence tolerance, cold tolerance, clubroot susceptibility, and allyl alcohol resistance. The protein localises to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to low oxygen tolerance, cold and drought resistance, pathogen resistance, and salt stress resistance.
