ADH2 — Brassica oleracea

Summary

BoADH2 (ADH2) on chromosome 9 of cabbage encodes an S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) with NADH, NAD+ and NADP+ activities, also annotated as an aldo-keto reductase, and belongs to the alcohol dehydrogenase family. 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, cytoplasm and nucleus. BoADH2 is linked to stem diameter, proline content, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, stomatal closure, fertility, pathogen resistance, shade avoidance, root hair development, ammonium toxicity tolerance, thermotolerance, germination, flowering time, silique size, freezing tolerance, and salt tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to formaldehyde detoxification, root development, cadmium tolerance, iron toxicity tolerance, wounding response, and salicylic acid response.
