AMADH2 — Glycine max

Summary

GmAMADH2 (GLYMA_06G186300V4) on soybean chromosome 6 encodes an aldehyde dehydrogenase family protein with betaine-aldehyde dehydrogenase, aminobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase, and gamma-guanidinobutyraldehyde dehydrogenase activities, and binds Na+ and K+ ions. The gene is associated with GABA biosynthesis, proline breakdown, glycolate metabolism, fatty acid beta-oxidation, and the glyoxylate cycle. It is linked to cellular response to anoxia, response to UV-A, water transport, and virus-induced PTGS. The product localises to mitochondria, the cytosol, and the plant-type cell wall. GmAMADH2 is associated with salt tolerance, drought tolerance, cell membrane stability, photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, shoot dry weight, and oxidative stress response. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to salinity tolerance and glycine betaine synthesis.
