ADH2 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoADH2 (ADH2) on cauliflower chromosome 7 encodes an S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) and S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase with NAD+ and NADP+ activities, belonging to the alcohol dehydrogenase family. The gene is associated with methanal metabolism and catabolism, cellular homeostasis, seed development, heat acclimation, and programmed cell death. Its product localises to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, and nucleus. BoADH2 is associated with photosynthetic rate, low temperature stress response, leaf senescence, and salt tolerance. Phenotypic associations include stomatal closure, fertility, pathogen resistance, shade avoidance, root hair development, ammonium toxicity tolerance, thermotolerance, flowering time, silique size, freezing tolerance, and age-dependent cell death. Related genes in other species are linked to formaldehyde detoxification, nitric oxide signalling, systemic acquired resistance, cadmium tolerance, iron acquisition, and wounding response.
