BADH — Daucus carota subsp. sativus
Summary
DCAR_016507 (BADH) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a protein with aldehyde dehydrogenase domains and NAD⁺-dependent activity toward 4-trimethylammoniobutyraldehyde, gamma-guanidinobutyraldehyde, 3-aminopropanal, aminobutyraldehyde and betaine-aldehyde, and binds Na⁺ and K⁺ ions. The gene is associated with cellular detoxification of aldehydes, response to anoxia, abscisic acid signalling, salinity response, and somatic embryogenesis. Its product localises to the cytosol, mitochondria and plant-type cell wall. BADH is associated with photosynthetic rate, oxidative stress response, and the SALTTL locus, and is linked to drought and salt stress tolerance. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salt tolerance, glycine betaine synthesis and seed development.
