ADH — Glycine max

Summary

GmADH (GLYMA_04G240800V4) encodes a protein with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, protein homodimerization activity, and zinc binding, featuring ADH-like and NAD(P)-binding domains. In soybean, this gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, anaerobic respiration, methanal catabolism, and activation of cellular response to hypoxic stress, and is localized to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma. It is linked to traits including submergence tolerance, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, cold stress response, herbicide sensitivity, seed weight, seed size, germination rate, net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, root number, pollen fertility, and disease tolerance. Associations also include hypoxia tolerance, waterlogging tolerance, aldehyde detoxification, and clubroot susceptibility. Related genes in other species are linked to low oxygen tolerance, freezing tolerance, and pathogen resistance.
