ADH2 — Brassica oleracea var. botrytis

Summary

BoADH2 (ADH2) on chromosome 9 of cauliflower encodes an S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (GSNOR) with NADH, NAD+ and NADP+ activity, also annotated as an aldo-keto reductase and calcium- and zinc-binding protein. It is associated with methanal metabolism and catabolism, cellular homeostasis, seed development, heat acclimation and programmed cell death. The protein localises to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasma membrane and nucleus. BoADH2 is associated with photosynthetic rate, low temperature stress, 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 age-dependent cell death. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to formaldehyde detoxification, root development, mitochondrial activity, cadmium and iron toxicity tolerance, wounding and salicylic acid responses, and stem branching.
