ADH — Glycine max

Summary

GmADH (GLYMA_06G122600V4) encodes a protein with ADH_Zn_CS, ADH-like_C, ADH-like_N, GroES-like_sf, and NAD(P)-bd_dom_sf domains, and is associated with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, protein homodimerization activity, and zinc binding. In soybean, this gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, anaerobic respiration, response to flooding, hypoxia stress, and submergence tolerance. It has also been linked to photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, root number, germination rate, drought tolerance, salt tolerance, cold stress response, herbicide sensitivity, pollen fertility, and disease tolerance. The encoded protein localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to low oxygen tolerance, freezing tolerance, pathogen resistance, and dehydration stress response, and to alcohol dehydrogenase expression.
