ADH — Hordeum vulgare subsp. vulgare

Summary

HORVU.MOREX.R3.1HG0082960 (symbol ADH, also known as HvADH1, HvADH2, HvATGSNOR1, GSNOR, and HvHOT5) on barley chromosome 1H encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase with S-nitrosoglutathione reductase (NADH) and S-(hydroxymethyl)glutathione dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activities (EC 1.1.1.1), along with aldo-keto reductase, redox, calcium ion binding, and protein homodimerization activities. The gene is associated with ethanol fermentation, activation of the cellular response to hypoxic stress, methanal metabolism and catabolism, pyruvate metabolism, cellular respiration, and responses to flooding, hypoxia, hydrogen peroxide, sucrose, estradiol, and caffeine. It is linked to grain yield, grain dry weight, seed size, germination rate, protein content, photosynthetic rate, leaf senescence, herbicide sensitivity, drought tolerance, submergence tolerance, waterlogging tolerance, cold stress tolerance, and salt stress tolerance. The product localizes to the cytosol, plastid, mitochondria, nucleus, and plasmalemma.
