ADH2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoADH2 (ADH2) on chromosome 7 of cabbage (Brassica oleracea) 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. It 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, response to nitric oxide, cellular homeostasis, seed development, heat acclimation and programmed cell death. Its product localises to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasma membrane and nucleus. BoADH2 has been linked to stem diameter, proline content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, salt tolerance, stomatal closure, fertility, pathogen resistance, shade avoidance, root hair development, ammonium toxicity tolerance, thermotolerance, germination, flowering time, silique size, freezing tolerance and disease resistance. Related genes in other species link the family to formaldehyde detoxification, root development, mitochondrial activity, cadmium and iron tolerance, stem branching, wounding and salicylic acid responses.
