ADH — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoADH (BOLND125_C08P064830.1_BOLND125_V1) on cauliflower chromosome 8 encodes a protein containing ADH-like and NAD(P)-binding domains, with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase, aldo-keto reductase, zinc binding and homodimerization activity. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, cold, salinity, osmotic stress, hydrogen peroxide, sucrose, estradiol and caffeine, as well as cellular respiration, methanal catabolism, detoxification, translation initiation and protein transport. It localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm and plasmalemma. BoADH has been linked to drought tolerance, disease tolerance, herbicide sensitivity, sucrose content, low temperature stress response, and traits including waterlogging, submergence, hypoxia and cold tolerance, clubroot susceptibility, allyl alcohol resistance, and salt stress response. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to low oxygen tolerance, cold and drought resistance, pathogen resistance, freezing tolerance and anaerobic response.
