ADH — Glycine max

Summary

GmADH (GLYMA_13G035200V4) on soybean chromosome 13 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 annotated with S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity, aldo-keto reductase (NAD) activity, protein homodimerization activity, and zinc binding. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, anaerobic respiration, methanal catabolism, and activation of cellular response to hypoxic stress. It has been linked to submergence tolerance, waterlogging tolerance, hypoxia tolerance, drought tolerance, cold stress tolerance, salt stress response, and herbicide sensitivity. Associations also include photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, germination rate, root number, adventitious root number, pollen fertility, and disease tolerance. The product localizes to the cytosol, cytoplasm, and plasmalemma. Studies of related genes in other species connect the family to low oxygen tolerance, freezing tolerance, pathogen resistance, and drought resistance.
