MDH — Daucus carota subsp. sativus

Summary

DCAR_016565 (MDH) on carrot chromosome 5 encodes a malate dehydrogenase with NAD-L-malate dehydrogenase activity (EC 1.1.1.37), belonging to the malate dehydrogenase type 1 family. The gene is associated with the TCA cycle, glyoxylate cycle, gluconeogenesis, regulation of photorespiration, and regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation. It is linked to malate metabolism, carboxylic acid metabolism, and chloroplast stroma protein import. Associations with traits include respiration rate, photosynthetic rate, herbicide sensitivity, high temperature stress response, oxidative stress response, disease tolerance, and zinc sensitivity. The gene is connected to phenotypes such as cadmium tolerance, hypoxia tolerance, seed viability, seed germination rate, seed longevity, seed biomass, plant growth, photorespiration, cold acclimation, thermotolerance, heat stress tolerance, and redox homeostasis. Localisation evidence places the product in the microbody, plastid stroma, chloroplast inner membrane, and mitochondrial lumen.
