ADH — Oryza sativa Indica Group

Summary

BGIOSGA005972 (OiADH) on chromosome 2 of Indica rice encodes an alcohol dehydrogenase-like 6 protein 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, protein homodimerization, zinc binding, and protein binding functions. The gene is associated with responses to hypoxia, flooding, submergence, hydrogen peroxide, heat acclimation, osmotic and salinity stress, and activation of cellular response to hypoxic stress, as well as methanal metabolism and catabolism, cellular respiration, MAPK cascade, programmed cell death, and seed development. It has been linked to traits including submergence and waterlogging tolerance, aldehyde detoxification, fermentation, herbicide sensitivity, drought tolerance, photosynthetic and respiration rates, plant height, leaf senescence, disease tolerance, and cold stress response. The protein localizes to plastids, mitochondria, cytosol, plasmalemma, cytoplasm, and nucleus.
